Looking at the picture of all the grads brings to mind the volume of student loans outstanding. To every upside there is a downside. I’m sure everything will work out. Good luck to them. My advice? None.

. . . and Debbie Downer speaks up!
Let them have their day in the sun; lord knows they earned it!

Our oldest was in the graduating group today. No debt, already has a full time well-paid job; good time to be young. Applied science grads are in demand.

What are you saying canisplus? That taking ownership, hard work, and choosing a field in demand equals success? Who woulda thunk it?
