lol right now your son makes $70/hour
that is nice piece of change
(highest I ever earned was $11/hour and I thought that was great pay)
as long as your son enjoys what he is doing and it is not drudgery
he can write in spare time
havin' money is fun

Yes, the son does make an awful lot...he likes to take on individual contract jobs, for that high hourly rate...that allows him to work when he wants, because he can earn a lot of money in a small period of time...allows him time to do what he really enjoys(skiing, kayaking, boating, traveling)

Whats really ironic, is that when he returned from his trip, he found out he was eligible for unemployment, from the company who bought out his former company...(When they bought out his former company, they did not offer him a permanent job, because they said they did not know exactly how to classify him as far as job description)...so they just paid him a lot of money to stay on during the transition...after they had him for a month, they realized they made a mistake and should have hired him...but he did not like them, they had already drawn up his severance papers, and when they tried to go back on letting him go, he had a fit...

He wanted to leave, to pursue his dream of his round the world trip...so no matter what they offered, ,he was not biting...

Then when he got back from his trip, he found out he was also eligible for unemployment, which was great...it allowed him lots of extra time, to look for a job he really liked..he likes to contract himself out for jobs, that he can do at home on his computer at his own pace...so far hes been lucky to be in demand...

At least the hubby and I do not have to worry about him or his future...parents always worry about their kids, not matter how old...
