Writing skills are a great ticket to many jobs. When S1 was in a sports management master’s program, he applied for a paid internship in the English department. They called to tell him he was by far the best candidate, but felt they needed to hire someone in one of their English programs. D2, our free spirit child, is also a good writer and that will probably open doors for her.
But, back to topic. We carried S1 and both D’s on our insurance until they are/will age out. H is a CC professor and they just can’t get the level of coverage we have. It costs very little to go from 2 to family plan. (S1 is on his own now.) They pay their copays which are rarely more than $5. We pay the auto insurance until they are truly launched or married. D2 caused damage to her car and I made her pay the repair. Major health expenses that aren’t covered, we would help out if needed.
