I don’t think anyone on this thread is blind to unemployment. It seems you are arguing with people who for the most part don’t disagree with you.
But this thread is about helicopter parents who get directly involved in the hiring process for their adult children. As many have attested, that level of involvement will actually hurt their chances of being employed.
I think most would agree that it is appropriate to assist behind the scenes with coaching and helping them get through the old boys network.
I think most of us would agree that there are systemic changes needed. Since we are on free republic that likely means we would start with deregulation and lower taxation. For good measure, we could also re-work the current system of higher education so that it would actually prepare young adults for workplace realities.
You warn of dire results if circumstances don’t change. I don’t know what your solution is, but being a helicopter parent is not the answer.
Look, when nothing else works being a “helicopter parent” may be a wise option ~ Fur Shur voting for Obama didn’t improve the job picture.
