My 18yo nephew is leaving on Friday for a new job. He will be working on a Hawaiian cruise ship for a 6 month tour. My sister is having a hard time with her youngest leaving the nest. I know prayers are appreciated.

p.s. Can I just say....talk about a dream job if you had no spouse or kids? He will make over minimum wage, work 40-50 hours per week, all his meals and lodging are included. He is a very financially smart kid, so he will make a lot of money before heading to college next year. And he can take online classes while on the ship!

Paula,

Kids around here do that type of thing all the time.

Praying for your sister and her son as he starts this new adventure!

praying. I am having a hard time with my oldest leaving the nest. I kind of wish he were taking a job on a cruise ship as opposed to joining the Marines.

And yes, it sounds like a great job to me, too!
