I think part of the problem of the college-educated Gen Y set’s “failure to launch” is that they are “too picky” about what job/housing they will accept … straight out of the gate. This mindset keeps them from moving on with their lives into adulthood. In some cases, their parents may be part of the problem by enabling them to live rent-free in their homes into oblivion.[/quote]
Well, speaking specifically of San Diego county, I think it’s stupid to make your adult child pay $1000 a month to rent an okay room if you have a room in your home unused (and everyone gets along).
Most of the Gen Y’s I personally know that don’t live with their romantic partners live with roommates in kinda crummy apartments geared towards young people.
