My friend told me that High School needs students to earn $1,000 before they can graduate from School. Which I think it is good working experience for them.
I started to tell my middle school son to think about which job that he wants to do to make $1,000.

My friend's only child got an admission for MIT, but she likes her to go with local State college which is tuition free. I think If I am the mother, I will let her go to MIT, which she can see different friends. Education investment!

Unfortunately, mother always likes to keep her children around. Empty Nest.
I can't wait that my both kids go to college then I don't have to cook for them any more!
