How proud am I

My eldest boy has been excepted into the head start program for Uni. So he does the first year of the engineering degree whilst still in year 12. I'm a proud dad.

------------------------------
A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!"

Congratulations son and father.
Our elder son is almost finished his engineering degree but I have to report his entrance into the course had more to do with his mother's love and inquiry than his own efforts.

Nicely done for him, mate - sooner he gets his degree the soomer he can start supporting you while you hunt and fish .....

I know right

Sambarman, Kurt has done this all by himself, he's been doing Maths C (the high level stuff) all last year off his own back, they don't even have a teacher for it at his school, he gets to school early and does it all by computer. He has a fair bit of discipline.

God bless him, Bakes. Ours did robotic engineering. We're hoping he'll develop something that will clean his room, if nothing else.

I did Electrical, then Mechanical and post grad in Manufacturing. Never regretted on minute of 14 years of study and exams.

Congratulations to the YB!

He hasn't desided on what sort of engineering yet but I might asked him to make a room cleaning robot as well

Well done young man! & you have a right to be proud!

BTW - I tell my smart 10 year old (he is 3 years ahead of the rest of his class & on extension program) that he needs to focus on being a smart 30 & 40 year old!

He is still a kid and that is just great.

Check out the Swedish film series "Real Humans" and that will give you some ideas.
