[quote=flyer]Also, to parents who are excited about their kids graduating from
college–many congratulations–but, as a parent who has been there, done that, be aware that, even though the hiring forecast has greatly improved, the competition out there is still fierce, and, although many of our kids will be very fortunate to land the careers they want in a location they would like to live–far more will not–so there may still be even greater challenges than education ahead for many grads.[/quote]Agree, flyer. I’m glad my kids are willing to live wherever they need to in order to have a reasonable commute to work everyday. I’ve got one kid now who is considering transferring from SF to LA with their company. My kids aren’t averse to living close to work to avoid a horrendous commute and if that means Carson, Baldwin Park or armpit Fullerton, so be it. My kids are also “experts” at “working the system” they set up for themselves. They’ve never had a problem getting a job or keeping a job in CA in their fields.

It seems you’ve still got a few college grads in your “sphere” who have returned “home” after graduation who are less than enchanted with where they’ll have to work and live in CA if they actually take real 8-5 job their field so they’re still “stuck” in their old bdrm in their parents’ spacious, well, appointed home in the covenant at the age of 22-30, lol …. You only have to look to their parents for your answer as to why their “kids” are still hanging around Mom and/or Dad at this late date :=0
