[quote=Anonymous]My parents never advised me, and I had to figure it all out on my own, but that's in part because they are immigrants. I had to really hustle. One of my DC's has it all figured out. Hopefully will get a return offer from the internship but if not, I know that they know how to hustle and find something. But even this DC still asks for advice on certain things. I think it's fine because they don't have the experience to understand what the choices may mean. I see nothing wrong with that. They ask about things like health insurance, benefits, etc. I wish someone had advised me on those things when I started working. The other DC I worry more for but we shall see. This DC is about to start college. It would be hard as a parent to see them flailing around since I had to really hustle and figure it out. They had a much more privileged up bringing than I did. If they aren't able to figure it out then I did not do my job as a parent.[/quote]
