My spouse and I are taking real pleasure watching our grandchildren as their lives beyond childhood unfold. This year has included one high school graduation, one BA graduation, and one MS graduation.
This evening we learned about a whole new success story. My grandson, now 24, did not go to college, but he has worked hard at a variety of jobs since high school and succeeded at each of them, usually becoming an assistant manager. Along the way, he has become engaged, they have bought a house together, and they have a cat. We took them to dinner this evening, then got to see their house (very nice), meet their cat, and learned about my grandson's new job.
I think this new job suits him very well. He is working for a company called Terex. They make cement mixers. He works on the line attaching axels to frames and other parts of the construction process. Did you know that a cement mixer can have four to seven axels? Cement mixers don't roll off the line like cars. There's lots of hands on work involved. He has always liked to put things together so this job seems like a great fit.
He is doing a good job of adulting, without a college education, and I'm so proud of him.
