The boy has yet another new fed job.

This federal job he has is an internship. Government contractors go through the facility from time to time and offererd him a job. He will still be a federal employee but get paid an extra $20k/year. Damn, it is nice to not have to worry about him anymore.

That's great Jim!! I know what you mean about not having to worry about him. My oldest son is doing very well, we don't have to worry about him either. Now if I could only get the other two kids heading the same way.....

Thats the way it goes there. I once knew a LTC who ran a consulting business on the side for his last 5 years. He was pulling in about 130k from the fed side and when he was retiring he got drunk and I asked him about his consulting business. He set up all his contracts to be located in areas he constantly flew to for fed work. He would take two or three days off of work after he completed his fed work and go work with the contracts. He was working with companies like GM, ATT etc. He had a doctorate degree that they paid for, (Jim your son is in IT tell him to start putting in for IT certification schools, the feds pay for it all, even his gas, tolls, hotel and travel expsenses while at the school) anyway this guy told me he was making over 200k a year consulting. It's a good gig just stressful. Good stuff...

Congrats Jim!

Once you get a full time job with the feds the only person that can fire you in under 18 months is the President and he probably doesn't have time to deal with you.

A good friend of mine was working for the EPA and asked for $8k to go in the budget for training. Someone screwed up and he got approved for $80k. He spent all year getting certs and of course the following year they had to ask for at least 75% of the previous year.
