"I worry about my young girls, because I'm not sure that I'll be able to say no to them if they need the help."

Blood is thicker than water. Say "yes" to them if they need help. Strengthen them for life's journey down the road. That's our job. As long as my kids are willing to take any job to pay their fair share of expenses and keep the roof over the family's head, they can stay with the "old man" for as long as they can stand it. Which won't be too long by the way. "My house. My rules" is a great kid launcher. The bottom line is, as long as you've instilled a strong work ethic in them, they'll do just fine. My dad succeeded despite the Great Depression. I staggered out of college into the Carter administration, and my kids will have to deal with Obama's. One way or another, strength of character will win the day, God willing.

I agree with this. The article was about grads who go to live at home and won’t work at jobs that demean their status as graduates, wasn’t it?

The world needs service workers and warehouse workers, and I was both of these with a college degree.
