I try to imagine how I would feel if one of my boys baked pies for a living. I think if they wanted to do that from a young age, I would tell them to be careful, you have to make sure that your education can get you many jobs, even if you do not like all of them. This is why I studied tax law in school, because there are always people who need help with their taxes, and I can save money on our household taxes, too.
But it is hard to argue against his pies, and my husband has proved that yes, you can make a living from owning a restaurant, even if it is hard.
"Your pies are already so good, what else do you want to learn from class?" I ask and take another bite. Maybe it sounds judgmental (and maybe, yes, I am judging a little), but I am actually curious to know what other skills he can gain. He is a good boy, and I want to make sure his education does the most for him. "Ah, and as for me, most recently I was in real estate. I have dabbled in many jobs but I just got my license, and I am focusing on investment properties."
I smile when he describes his home. Maybe not everything is great in Georgia, but I bet he can have a lot of good to say about it too if I ask him. "Yes, the humidity in the area is terrible. I thought it was bad in D.C. — that's where I was before Orlando — but going south, it definitely feels like there's more."
