Drama Llama Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) My 12 year old has informed me that, after reading about the accidents on the Titan and the Byford Dolphin, he has decided to become a saturation diver. He plans to use the gobs of money he makes to buy a remote presence robot, so that each time he is decompressing, he (via robot) and I can go on vacations and see the wonders of the world. This will keep me entertained "in my old age", which he seems to think will start in about 10 years. If at some future point, you are walking on the Great Wall of China, and you see an old woman and a robot who talks like this stop and say "Hi". It will be me! ETA: My BIL suggested that he become a lawyer so he can make gobs of money, go on his own vacations, and not have to worry about being cooked by his own blood. DS said that was not the plan because being a lawyer is “boring” but then his brother pointed out that the food they send you through the hatch is probably also boring, so Baby Chef is now reconsidering, because he does love interesting food. He would like suggestions for jobs that make “gobs” of money and are not boring, and let you cook for yourself. Any ideas for him?

Amazing stuff but no way in hades will I partake! I'm glad my autistic dd is interested in horsemanship and dressage. I used to be scared she would want to do hunter/jumper... HA! Guess I should be happy she hasn't fixated on deep sea diving! 🫠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will have a new plan in a couple weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 He should start a fancy restaurant and build a hotel to house it in. Trust me, he will never have a dull moment again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
