Update number 2 - time flies and I am still getting older
Son is graduating from UM Ross business school in May. Amazon, Shell, Burger King, Capital One, and RS, All flew him in for interviews. Got offers from RS (a conglomerate with US HQ in NJ) and Shell in Houston. Both offered mid $60s plus nice signing bonus.
Decided on Shell because they offer every other Friday off if he decides to work eight 9 hour days every two weeks, much lower cost of living - plus he gets out of winter weather. He was hoping for an Amazon offer because he loved his two days interviewing and partying afterwards in Seattle - but no joy.
Many in Ross business school go into investment banking for big dollars but he didn’t like the idea of 100 hour work weeks. He is more of a Friday off type guy.
So in the end, he made his decision and it worked out very well.
Now I have all kinds of location tips for him as my first real job out of college was in Houston and I REALLY enjoyed my 20’s there.
Next up is my DD who is now in 8th grade. She is 100% decided she wants to be a doctor but unlike my DS she struggles in math and science and needs to study for hours to maintain As and Bs. I told her to keep the grades up or we’ll send her to a nunnery and save money on tuition. Plus I think it gets me a free pass to heaven
It never ends I guess.
