[quote=Anonymous]I think they need to figure it out for themselves. We are in the process of dealing with that right now. Eldest had a college major that would enable them to pursue a lot of different paths, many of which would lead to financial stability/job with benefits. These have been dismissed as "boring" and DC only wants to do one of the many possible job options available, which only pays minimum wage. All I do is shrug shoulders and say "Go back to school or figure out another option within your field that pays more. You have choices. We are not here to subsidize your "passion" after we paid for the college education. What you do with that education is up to you." Subsidizing poor career choices is not a precedent we want to set for the younger siblings. Our kids will graduate college debt free, which in this day and age is a big gift. We have worked hard to give them that, and we would like to retire someday. [/quote]
