1 - office w/door, see joel on software for an example

The first kid graduated from HS and went into business for himself, he now has several employees and is a 'computer consultant' and wireless ISP provider. He owns his own house at age 30, something I was not able to do at his age.
The second kid graduated from college with degrees in Marketing, Business, and French, on a volleyball scholarship, spent two years in France pretty much working and is now married and living in Alaska.
The third kid dropped out of HS, plays the guitar, WoW, and works at Subway. He's 20something and lives at home.
The fourth kid graduated HS, works two jobs, has her own apartment, and wants to become a fashion consultant.
