[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did they pay their living expenses in college? How do they pay their cell phone bill? Do they have a car?[/quote]

Most affluent parents pay for everything though their kids do internships, research and volunteer gigs instead of random retail jobs.[/quote]

An internship at Google pays way more than serving ice cream for the summer.[/quote]

+1. I always side eye when people recommend dead-end jobs 10th graders can do or migrants who don’t speak English can do. Your adult kid has X amount of years of an $90,000 a year college education. Act like it. Don’t have them waste a summer learning nothing and making peanuts. There are interns at Amazon and other tech firms making $20,000 to $30,000 a summer. [/quote]

And if a student is not selected for these $10k/month internships?   [/quote]

There are plenty of campus research assistant jobs. They don't pay $10k a month, but are far better than retail or something.
More importantly this is valuable time for the student to figure out what they enjoy doing.[/quote]
