[quote=Anonymous]If my kids are happy with their lives, I'm happy for them. I want their jobs to be something that they are passionate about, no matter how much money they make. One wants to do public works and fix water lines and salt roads, and that's fine with me as long as he's happy. He'll retire with full Virginia retirement at 52, and can then do whatever he wants long before most people can even think of retiring. As a Type 1 diabetic, the retirement and the insurance is well worth it and he loves his job. Two of my other sons are professional arborists. They are the ones who keep trees from knocking out your power. They also get called out for storm damage during hurricanes and severe snowstorms. One of the most dangerous jobs, but they love it. One of them is planning to go into law enforcement. Also dangerous, but it's what he really wants. My 14 yr old daughter also plans to go into law enforcement, working with sexual assault victims. It's her passion. My kidd do what they want, and I support them fully. [/quote]
