The daughter of a well to do friend recently graduated with a degree in some BS with a minor in “arts and letters”. So, post grad what’s she’s doing? Working a minimum wage job. What else?
Most of the affluent people I know have children with soft degrees of dubious value and jobs that don’t pay much. The parents still subsidize the kids and seem to be content to let them live with the illusion that they are independent.
When mommy and daddy always provide a comforting safety net it destroys motivation and ambition. I’ve seen this countless times.
