Those of you who have "graduate" homeschoolers...
What are they doing now? Attending college? Working? What are their career choices?

Oldest ds is married, with a 3 yr. old and is a 911 dispatcher. He's received 2 awards and enjoys it but he is always putting in applications for patrolman with PDs around here. His problem is no degree, because he quit school after barely 1 yr (he quit homeschooling a few weeks into 11th gr. too, when dh and I allowed him to get his GED and work...he's always preferred working).
Ahhhh...2nd ds. He graduated a couple of years ago and wanted to go into the military but has had an asthma attack since he was 13, which prohibits his entry (although I'm constantly encouraging him to go all the way through the application process just to see). He doesn't want to go to college either. He was a horse rider and top 4H .22 shooter for our county; neither of which really translates well into a career  . He like working also, so hopefully he'll find something he likes enough to complete trade school or apprenticeship soon.

Elizabeth is in her sophomore year at U of Dallas, getting ready for her spring semester in Rome. She's finding out that she loves to travel  and has taken advantage of several great programs (including ISI's Honor's Fellows program). She's an English major with a Classics concentration (and is considering a double major).

And is a delightful young woman . She spent time with us when she was in England during the summer and was a great advertisement for homeschooling graduates  .

Thanks, Kathryn! It's a thrill when other people enjoy Elizabeth as much as we do.
