Our son went to work as a temp employee in January. The company will bring him on to their payroll as a full time salaried employee effective on 7/18 (next Monday). He has been hired as a Mechanical Engineer/CAD Designer.
Our next step will be to get him an apartment, but I hope that will be awhile. I am hoping he will want to live at home and save as much money as he can for awhile.

Great news! The first "real" job out of college is a huge step into adulthood.
I would encourage him to live at home and save money, depending on your living situation.

Congratulations to your son! My DH turned 52 this past January, and retired in February after 30 years of being a mechanical engineer! Great profession; wonderful choice! Good Luck to him!   |

Congrats  I have a friend who is CAD Designer - I watched her do "drawings" (on computer) if that is the word for a prison. Fascinated me. Made me wish I had gotten into something like that!!!
ETA: I would put a time frame on the living at home with Mom just to save money. Sometimes the nest is feathered so fine the little birds never learn to fly - but then I never won mother of the year award  so might not be the one to offer advice!! |
