Feeling very happy for DS

[IHaveFlowPower]

DS25 has told me that he's very much enjoying working life and the career he has. He enjoys the industry he's in and the exciting but challenging projects he works on. He finds going to the office great for his mental health, he has great friends and supportive colleagues at work as well. He lives at home with us and finds is always happy to come home after a long day. He has lovely friends in London (made through uni) and he sees them often. I'm very happy for him.

Please tell me about all the lovely things your DC are doing for work

My youngest has his dream job, he's really into travel especially central and south America and after his last year of independent travel landed a job as a south American travel specialist he works from home talking to and arranging high end trips for people, he says whats not like mum i get to talk all day about my favourite thing and the cherry on top is that he regularly gets sent on all expenses familiarisation trips and has stayed in some really top end places he'd never be able afford himself.

Ah OP that’s lovely, I am so glad your son is happy. My husband just said this morning how happy our 19 year old is. Home from Uni for the summer, working hard to save money. Going to the gym, helping around the house, seeing friends. Happy at home but excited to go back to Uni. Just a real drive in her at the minute.

My middle ds took a while to decide what he wanted to do, but at age 24 went to Uni and trained as a radiographer. He’s been qualified 4 years now, and works in the radiotherapy department as he wanted to work with cancer patients. He loves his job and the team he works with, they are all really good friends as well as colleagues. I’m so pleased for him because he had really difficult teenage years.

DD graduated a year ago. She started her current job last October. She’s really enjoying it. She passed her 6 months probation period with flying colours, and even got a 5% pay rise. The work-life balance is excellent: 2 fixed office days (Tue/Wed), and 3 days WFH. Plus she gets the time back that she spends on out-of-hours client calls. It’s less than 10 miles from home - in the opposite direction to most of the traffic. She’s living at home and saving money. Which means that she’s able to do lots of weekends away with her boyfriend.

Ds tells me everyday he looks forward to going to work and it's a pleasure to be with his colleagues. He works in net zero so a field he's super passionate about and determined to make a positive difference in.

Nice Post.

DS1 is 23 and finished a grad scheme recently. He works as a project manager now in the same company, travelling the country. He has a lovely girlfriend in London (soon to locate closer), and plays hard, having had four foreign holidays this year including those with old uni friends.
DS2 is in his fourth year of Mchem. Currently on for a first. He has moved to the other end of the country for his final year to live with two other students he doesn’t know to complete a years internship. There may be a job at the end of it. He has a girlfriend just finishing uni, has joined the gym, the works football team and so far enjoying his new life.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing them succeed and be happy.
