Its not so bad when they are single, but I would worry if he tried to get married and bring the girl home. Its like what Bill Cosby said, "Kids not only don't leave home, they come back and bring more with them." LOL

Good choice you made, never leave school and go into society without at least a university diploma in hand or you'd be the last one to be hired and the firet one to get laid off...
Worked in a lot of retail placed during my college years and heck all the loser managers I met have no college diploma.
And about the trash, persoanlly never done the trash-is-full thing, it's almost a reflex I'll just squzze down the trash a bit to fit whatever I'm trashing.

His mother was supposed to send him through school and withdrew her support after 1 year...It took me 2 years to talk him into going back...I funded the 1st semester and he dropped out due to some intense personal problems that he did not tell me about...I found out from the RHSon...I talked him into going back again...and funded another semester...He works for UPS...once he turns in his grades to them along with a financial statement of the tuition cost...They refund him 100%...Not a bad deal...I just had a hard time getting him to go...He gets bored easily in class...Is attending one now without a book...another story...and is still making an "A" in there...

Hey he has the intelegence, don't waste it!
He just has to realize the importance of going back to school and heck he'll be begging you for it without any push.
If my job ask me to go back to school I'd be all over it.
I'm dumber than a bag of hammer and didn't make a lot of A in college, but came through okay...

That was my argument...
He's up for a job at an auction house in Dallas...If he get's that I'm afraid he'll drop out again...But...he would be playing with old comics and Historical Artifacts...I'd find that hard to pass up myself...
