My mother was educated, having a degree in Accounting from Rowan University (used to be Glassboro, she was the first person in her family’s history to attend college) but was very, very ditzy. She was somewhat helpful on homework and was very good at essay-construction. But when it came to common sense stuff, she often missed the mark haha.

My father has a BA in English and Economics (he double-majored) from Rutgers University and an MS in Management from NJIT. He’s worked as a sales executive for multiple frozen food companies, and briefly was president of his own distribution company. He’s very well-educated and very intelligent, and is always of great help on homework (he never will give me an answer though).
