Great, as it turns out! I was just thinking maybe I should do an update article, but I'll wait until my son settles on something. My daughter is now 19, and as of next week will officially end her nanny job (which was sustaining her financially during the past year), because she now has enough dog-training clients to pay her bills.

My son is now nearly 22, and is working as an interpreter for the Space Centre--a job he ADORES, leading workshops and performing science, physics and space shows. However, it doesn't pay very well, so he's still contracting as a 3D artist on the side, and has recently been offered a full-time job as a 3D asset artist. He's on the fence though, because while it would be a nice security, it would mean hardly working at the Space Centre at all. So... we'll see what transpires over the next few weeks, anyway. They're happy, and still renting a place together, looking after themselves and their big fluffy dog. And that mean's I'm happy! :-)
