He graduated with a two year degree in instrumentation and robotics from ISU. Landed a job doing the same at Simplot in Pocatello and will make $77k a year base with OT eligibility. That’s about the same starting wage as engineering majors; at least around here. His fiancee has three semesters left for her MS and then they want to move to Twin Falls. Kids in his program are bringing in over six figures after 3-5 years experience. Nice to see the lil birdies leaving the nest. 2 down, 2 to go.
Glad he has a good head on his shoulders and didn’t major in some garbage BA degree.
Yours in Liberty,

Off to a good start.
Live below his income, save, invest and stay out of debt.
He's got a chance at a good finish.

My high school friend did that tech degree at iSU about 30 years ago and to a job in Oregon working in a chip fab at Intel. He retired in his mid 40s 6 or 7 years ago and put everything he had into bitcoin. When bitcoin was up he was worth over 200 million. I'm guessing now he's only worth about 60 million. He did well with that 2 year degree. Bb

-Jake Yup. Making a good income is great. How you manage that income is more important. Good start and good luck to him.

Good job.
My boy was thinking about getting out of the USAF shortly. However he is taking avionics training and going over to the Thunderbirds.

Glad to see he’s making his way. I was a winter grad too, last final was December 11, went to work December 15. Been at it ever since. In the right field and with a solid effort he’ll stay employed.

My daughter just started at a nursing home. I told her to knock em dead. My oldest daughter is a nurse. The term they use for problem patients is "just give'em an extra pillow". Very dark, indeed.

A chart entry at the hospital where my wife worked for 30+ years read something like this- - - -"Patient XXXX is having rectal pains that are radiating to the nurses' station- - - - - -"
LOL!
