[quote=Anonymous]It's got to be discouraging for a lot of the kids in that generation to do everything they were told to do (study hard, pick a major you love, graduate from college) and end up working at starbucks because the jobs just aren't there.  I'm an x-er who graduated in a recession and had a hard time finding a "real job" - and then had to work retail for years to supplement the tiny salary.  But I did end up with a real job in my field at 22, and that's not a guarantee these days.

yes, some of them seem pretty spoiled.  I think the danger of letting kids move back in with you is that they get accustomed to a certain way of life they can't afford on their own.  I think so many people in my generation lived in sh*tty apartments in our 20's and ate ramen and mac & cheese for years because we had to.  Then these kids are turning up their noses at rentals because the appliances aren't stainless steel, and they're eating all organic and going to studio yoga classes.  It can be hard for someone my age to relate.[/quote]
