of 12. He searched what he needed to build it and bought the parts online, These are computers like BB sells for over $2k. He can also fix your cell phone or laptop. He is 17. He will be able to pay his way through college with fixing other kids' broken stuff.

Another grandson will also be ok. He can look at a comic and build a life-size replica of the armament the hero or villain uses to defeat enemies. He has sold some of them for hundreds and thousands of dollars, depending on the size and complexity. He is 21and will probably get an apprenticeship for prop building or stagecraft. That will be followed wth a union card. He will also be ok.


Then there is John, He is 13 and an excellent musician. But will a.i. eliminate the need for musicians like how a dj with speakers and a file of tapes eliminated thousands of wedding gigs over the years.

That accounts for 3 of them. God knows about the remaining 5.
