Kudo's to my nephew
« on: August 10, 2020, 09:33:33 AM »
A little good news to start the day.

My nephew graduated college this weekend. Texas Tech. He's spent the entire time in angst. "I don't know if I'm going to make it, Uncle Brad. I guess I better be looking at something else in case." Yeah, right. The little turd graduated Summa Cum Laude ... from a dual-degree program ... which he finished in only three years. No namby pamby, Advanced Basket Weaving, walk-in-the-park program, either. Ag Eco and Ag Business, Bachelor of Science in both.

Starts his Master's program next week. Ag & Applied Economics. If his advisors will let him, he has it mapped out to finish in a year and a half.

Good Deal!

He's got a degree where "Do you want fries with that?" should never need to be part of his repertoire.

He could always get a good paying job and then go back for the minority gender studies degree later.

Nah - Medieval French Poetry is where it's at.

Seriously, good for him. Whenever I see a newspaper story about college graduates unable to find work, invariably their degrees are in things like theater arts, ethnic studies, etc.

He's not a kid, the way I understand childish behavior nowadays.  As one of my Jewish friends used to say, "Er ist ein mensch," where "mensch" meant more than just having hair in your armpits.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.
