WHY? Our Journey Into Homeschooling
Monday, February 12, 2007
What I Want to Be When I Grow Up, Part I
So, we're talking the other day, and A.J. tells me that when he turns 18, he's going to start copyediting some. He figures he'll play Zoo Tycoon (his current favorite game) in the mornings and work for 3 hours every afternoon. He's even decided that they'll pay him $55 an hour (way more than I make now). He proceeded to break out the calculator and figure out how much that was per week and per year. Mind you, this isn't how he is going to make a living. This is just how he's going to help us out with money :) When he's 25, he said, he might do something else.
Sometimes, your kids just have to remind you how different our perspectives can be! :)
