Actually, he's using his degree in Computer Engineering...
































...to get another degree. He starts graduate school (Masters in Engineering Management) in 2 weeks! He's staying at Case Western Reserve University for another year.

Congrats Ben. I think it's easy to see you have a Proud Papa.

Good luck.

Congrats Ben. Glad to see he's avoiding reality for another year hopefully the job market is fully mended by then.
