OK - so she wants your life. Environmental and Biology [B]are[/B] her top interests, with engineering slightly below them. The regimen at Maritime, (she’s into the challenge and attaining leadership skils) the promise of actually getting a job, seeing the world, and a decent salary are the reasons she is being drawn to engineering at maritime. Otherwise I more sure she would be going environment route (maybe enivornment engineering, etc.) I didn’t realize there were great jobs that would fit her interests a little more w/out going the engineering route and still going to maritime. We just spent hours talking about the pros&cons of the colleges she got into and didn’t even cover your spin on maritime. You have given us something to consider we’d better hurry- May 1 is just around the corner. Do you have a set employer? that gives you medical coverage? With a set work schedule? or Work job posting by job posting? We were curious about how that works. Glad to hear you are successful and HAPPY!. (make sure you safe for the future, believe it or not it comes quicker than you can imagine. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
