When a newly-minted college graduate living with mom and/or dad has a backyard pool/jacuzzi with cabana and built-in BBQ with which to entertain 20 or more of their “best friends” twice monthly (the ones from back in HS who are still hanging around “home” doing nothing with their lives), it’s kind of hard to “envision” moving into a semi-run-down small apt in an unfamiliar expensive city to accept your first “real” job.
I suspect that is the “real” problem with flyer’s friend’s kids because that is the problem with my kids’ friends who stayed behind after HS instead of accepting an offer of admission to university (preferably 100 miles away or more) and getting on with their lives. People, your kids will still be with you at age 30+ (possibly with their own kids in tow) if you allow it. Absolutely NONE of my youngest kid’s friends from HS who stayed behind after HS graduation have even finished one semester of CC (15 units) yet … when they should be going into their second semester of sophomore year at the end of this month. Why? They’re having too much fun and entertainment and pulling frequent all-nighters with all their old “HS homies,” most of whom they have known since they were 5 or 6 years old, lol.
It’s kind of hard to be a FT student and pass your your college classes with that kind of lifestyle.
