Kayf…Nope. At the end of this sem. he will have taken all the regular classes that he needs to graduate. All that’s left is a required internship. It is counted as a nine credit hour/eleven week summer school class. He has to send in reports during the internship and have his internship supervisor sign off on it. And we get to pay for that!

His major is Criminal Justice.

He could do it in the Fall if he can’t find anything for summer but he would feel defeated…as if he went to college for four years but came back home with nothing. He’s really tired of school and wants to be done with it. There is a class at the CC he could take to fulfill the requirement ( it’s a police officer training academy where all new hire cops go to train) but it’s only offered Fall and Spring. It wouldn’t kill him but he’d really like to get something done this summer, get his diploma and move on.

DH (an engineer) had a job in hand when he graduated as did our S1. DH thinks S2 just isn’t trying hard enough. S2 is frustrated. If S2 has to come home to live with us for summer w/ no plans it won’t be fun. Did I mention that tension is high?
