Both of my children have made me very proud throughout their lives. Family, school, sports, work have all yielded memorable moments.

Over the Thanksgiving holiday my Son and his girlfriend both received word that they had successfully passed the California Bar exam on their first try. From what I know New York and California are harder to pass than others but all are demanding. Their Test was in July and took 36 hours over 3 days. Then they had to wait until this weekend to find out the results. Both were happier than I have ever seen them and that includes Law school graduation day.

Best part is my days of paying for school are finally over!

Congratulations John (and John's son and girlfriend). As I understand it, the California Bar is one of the most difficult to pass, and the majority do not pass on the first attempt. What field of law is your son, and his girlfriend, going to practice?

Congrats!

My dad is very much looking forward to the day when I become fully independent too

Does your son (and his gf) have to find a job? I'm not sure about the process of becoming a lawyer in the States... Basically, what's next?

She hopes to find a job in something related to environmental law. My son, as is his way has been somewhat tight lipped about what he wants to do. Time will tell with him.

Yes they are both now looking for work. They have their resumes in hand and started the networking process even before they heard the results.

I'd say your son's lucky too. My dad would be severely disappointed if I became a lawyer.
