It's been quite awhile since I blogged about Jay. He continues to work full time for the landscaping company, the same company he's worked for since May. He's been told they should have work for him until the first freeze, sometime in December. As we continue to navigate through this crazy world we live in Jay is navigating right along with it. He'll be a first time voter in November and seems to me to be an informed voter. He's a typical 18 year old boy. He works, he plays, he eats all of our food and even though we tend to see him on week nights only we sure enjoy having him around. Mike and I challenged him a bit to start thinking about what he's going to do with himself come winter. He made it clear he did not want landscaping to be his life career but he has no interest in going to school especially now since most colleges are E-learning. Then I stumbled across an idea - an idea that I hadn't thought of before: trade school. There is a trade school very close that is in person learning in the exact field Jay is interested in - HVAC. Jay's curiosity and interest was sparked. He tells me he'll be moving forward with this so there should be more to come on this in the weeks and months ahead. It's a 9 month program and our hope is they will have a good job placement program at the end.
