[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do parents really pay for car, gas, insurance, clothes, weekend dates, outings with friends, etc...?

I can't imagine a 16-18yr old wanting Mommy to pay for everything. How embarrassing. Do girlfriend and boyfriends get each other gifts with parents money. What about Christmas? Do you ask your Mom for money to get her a gift?  lol. Lame. [/quote]

Agree. Work ethic and financial common sense are not taught in high school. Both are needed a lot more than English Lit and Calc.

I would never hire some college grad, even if they had straight A's if they coasted thru high school and college jobless on their parents dime.  You would be amazed how many BA resumes I see with ZERO job experience. Sure, they try to put their fake resume-friendly volunteer work or their one 100hr internship.  No thanks. I would take someone with an okay GPA but worked  the last 5yrs at McDonalds. Straight A's does not = great employee. It usually = entitled lazy brat who will be bitching for a raise in 3 months and quitting in 6 months. [/quote]
