Her sons just make the first serious decisions about their careers, Evan is 20, and wants to go to college to be a graphic designer. He is creative, talented, and visionary. His younger brother, Larry, a down-to-earth teen, a big fan of nature and the environment, has ambitious goals, he wants to be a renewable energy engineer. Can they pursue their goals, will they succeed in life?
