When you compare notes with people who have kids in or a few years out of college the resounding concern is how they are going to get the jobs they want, where they want them.
Having been raised here, our kids and most of their friends wanted to stay on the West Coast. Our kids have been lucky in that regard, but it’s astounding how most have had to leave–in order to make their degrees pay off–regardless of where they went to college.
The competition out here is fierce, so it’s probably best to let your kids know a college degree is not an absolute guarantee of getting what you want in life.
