Thank you so much guys.

No. They are not employed. We've not made ourselves anymore habitatively accommodating, as in, don't get too comfortable (Pat was hanging stuff up in his room and ACTUALLY VACUUMED!).
But, as soon as Greg's crud from his apartment is retrieved and drug down here (they leave tomorrow to drag it) priority one is the blasting out of the resumes. The pounding of the pavement. One of their Christmas presents was a picture of sports coats and slacks, "interview clothes", something we shall be searching for anon.

Job possibilities are better here than in Oklahoma (no offense Sliver, you know what I mean) and there's somewhat of a network for at least interim positions with various employed friends and acquaintances.

Hallelujah!

Although sons always are beloved, there's nothing more beloved than a beloved son who is a new college graduate who is looking for a job!

And you, you lucky woman, are twice blessed!

We'll schedule another celebration when your two beloved college graduate sons have jobs. That will come soon.

Congratulations! In which field(s) are they looking for jobs?

[Beebs52]

Right now, anything that will put money in their nonexistent bank accounts. Our oldest has a major in microbiology and double minor in botany and chemistry, having done his capstone project on salt-thriving bacteria found in oil well soil samples, etc. etc. Youngest in psychology, for which he'd need more schooling to use it. Both need more (urk), but they can get a job that pays for the advanced stuff.

Some friends work in the oil industry, there are lots of tech companies here in the Houston area, so hopefully, after an initial be-a-waiter or something while sending out resumes they'll get something they want.

Congrats to them, Beebs, and good luck with the job hunting.

Yep, your older should be able to find something fairly quickly.
