What a way to start the weekend!!!

As a parent with two, still in college and grad education, get him to take the toughest (most math and science) major he can survive for the first couple of years at least. If he does, he'll have any prerequisites knocked out for any other major he might want to gravitate to down the line. Education majors don't jump into business. Engineers and STEM do...

PS-Congrats! Good kids generally = good parents.

Electrical engineering is highly sought after in industry. With technology advances the way they are, that field is always going to be in demand.

That brought a smile to my face.

I'm only weeks away from turning 69 years old,,,
I am now in the process of retiring from OK State University.

I started here as an undergraduate in the Fall of 1998,,,
I graduated with a B.S. in Occupational Education in 2001,,,
Then I graduated with an M.S. in Occupational Education in 2004.

A few months after I got my M.S. my college hired me full time.
As I said I'm in the process of retiring right now.

I was going through the old document folders in my file cabinet,,,
I found the original copy of my acceptance letter.

I was a hopelessly lost 48 year old when I applied for entry,,,
That letter of acceptance was the starting gun on a journey that changed my life.

To me, that letter is more dear than my actual diplomas.

Tell your son to save it,,,
In later years it will please him to reminisce on it.
