I just had the phone call every dad wants. [View all]

My daughter just got accepted to her first job (except waiting tables in college). She interned last summer
at the Federal Reserve bank in Richmond, Va. and applied for a permanent position upon her April graduation.
(Math major). Starting pay is 53,500 a year. This girl was raised on the end of a dirt road by an ignorant
bricklayer, a single dad. She is a devout Democrat, and a Bernie supporter. I'm very happy.
