A Bit of Good News On the Home Front

My youngest son is in college. His major is Criminal Justice. He wants to work in police forensics. As soon as he signed up for this program the college canceled the program, so he was only taking the basic gen ed classes and he was then going to transfer out to San Francisco. He doesn't need to do that anymore. He got a letter from the college this past weekend telling him he was in the Criminal Justice program. They had reinstated the program, so now he doesn't need to transfer. Do you have any good news happening in your family/life? Thanks for reading.

@trivia79 No. Law enforcement - police officers.

That's great news. That's what my little sister was doing in college too but is doing another major also just in case that one doesn't work out.

He was pretty disappointed when they canceled the program, and now he's happy again.

Thank you. I was surprised when he told me what career he wanted when he signed up for classes. I'm proud of him.

That will save a lot of headaches transferring to a new college, where some credits may not be accepted. Congrats to him and you!

That is good news and he already has some of the basic general ed classes out of the way which will give him a head start on some of the others entering the program.

He's on his second semester. He's not taking a full load because he's also working, so with what he's taking now, will give him four of the gen ed classes he needs.

News that's very much welcomed. He would have to spend a bomb to move away from home. Criminal justice, forensics and law enforcement is a great career choice.

It would be quite expensive to make the move. I'm glad he doesn't need to now.

That is good news. I guess it will mean less expense if he doesn't have to move away.

He can keep living with me until he graduates, and that will save him a lot of cost for rent and other bills as well.
