You get what you vote for.
I graduated in 2002 and moved back home with mom. Work wasn’t falling into my lap, so I worked for a family member for a few months until I found a contract job.
This statistic is nothing new. I don’t personally know many college grads who go right into a full-time job after college unless they’re engineers or educators.
Look on the bright side - at least the Obama-induced Depression will promote greater unity of the family.
Talk your kids into getting useful degrees. Nobody wants a greenhorn with a useless liberal arts degree. Those are only good for community organizing.
It was the college crowd that LOVED Obama the most!
Hahahaha!
YOu’ve been HAD.
FOOLS!
Sign up for road paving - it’s a UNION job!
Just think, YEARS of EXPENSIVE EDUCATION and YOU are NOT wanted of appreciated.
How’s that “hope” and “change” FEELING NOW?
Two of mine moved back home. One was out of the house 11 years. Her student loans topped 75K and found it difficult to pay her rent. She brought two cats with her too! Lucky me! PS none of my children voted for Obama.
I would love to know their majors.
And how many in the 20-24 years old age group voted for Obama?......
Well to be fair, 85 percent of college kids did not vote for Obama. My kid has lots of conservative friends in college, and many are at home living with parents, just like the “liberal” kids that voted for Obama.
Thankfully, our son has a good job and is able to afford his own expenses, but he’d love to be sharing his home with a roommate to cut down on his expenses...only problem is, none of his friends, or acquaintances, make enough money to be able to afford it. I’ve been amazed at the number of grown guys living with their parents.
I’m glad he’s not living with us, but I guarantee, he’s more thrilled that he’s not living with us, LOL.
well why not...they’re now all chillrun till age 26 courtesy Obummercare.
My 21-year-old daughter’s a college senior working 3 jobs. She lives at home, but can’t wait to get out into an apartment or have an adventure overseas. She pays (pretty close to) her share of insurance, etc. I’m confident she’ll fly when it’s time.
I already had a job lined up when I graduated and I went directly to it and an apartment.
It would have been unthinkable for me to live with my parents after graduation.
But those were different times, I guess.
time to change the locks? I love when they visit; love when they leave :)
They voted for change...
they used to have a future... now they live with mom!
That’s change !
I graduated college during the Carter Recession, got a job upon graduation and was laid off after four months. I moved back home for awhile and then moved in with friends before I finally got a job as a telephone operator. It wasn’t anything I had trained for during college but I was running out of lifelines.
Other than a year off to write a book, I have been drawing a paycheck ever since. It was not what I wanted to do or thought I’d be doing but I’ve made my peace over it. Ultimately, having a track record as a good worker is more important than a sheepskin.
I had a boomeranger in his late twenties who had left the nest, got a job in construction and bought a house. He lost everything, including his truck, in the housing bust. He only stayed with me a couple of months before he found a job and a place, but he is still struggling to recover. At least he is still young, able to start over and capable of living hardscrabble as a bachelor. It could have been far worse.
My daughter just graduated with a 4 year degree, She living with us and working at Peet’s Coffee Shop. Thanks 0bama.
Just wow.
I would have lived in a box first.
Our daughter moved back with us for a few months when she gave up her job in LA. $60K + job was not enough to put up with all the liberal pests. She is now working in Katy TX, and we like having her being within 200 miles of us vs 2,000 miles.
