So, since he did the STEM degree, I bet he found a good job soon after graduation....?

To be honest, he and his dad (a science guy) worked on that sort of detail in his college education. All I know is that he got a degree from UMass and immediately got into a PhD program at a Harvard research hospital in Boston. Then he went to Europe to work on a project in Belgium with an English Ph.D. who mentored him in the US. Now he is in Spain. He has a Spanish girlfriend who is an oil engineer and royalty. Before that, he was dating a Muslim woman from Turkey. He had a rude awakening. I warned him. Yikes! LOL

He mainly breeds and patents yeast for optimal beer making, of all things. The kid is doing what he loves and making some good money. Breweries want him but he enjoys the academic environment in Europe moreso than in the US. He learns languages easily. He gets to mentor smart students and do his research. Corporations fund a lot of his research. He gets to spend three weeks a year with us and see his brother in Texas. Sometimes he has business in Texas. : )
