[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My niece is one of those "expensive" kids. Her parents paid a fortune for her to go to U of Michigan Business school. Majored in Finance. Cannot keep a job. Every few months she is either let go or fired. My sister is heavily in debt because of her. [/quote]

What a shame; she has a good degree from a great college. Do you know why she can’t keep a job? Hopefully she will get a dose of maturity quickly.[/quote]

Because she doesn't understand when she needs to shut up and listen. I work in Finance and I witnessed her interactions with her superiors. She is oozing anxiety and at the same time, arrogance and "know it all" attitude. She tries to suck up to people and they are uncomfortable. I tried giving her pointers only to be rebuffed and scolded by my sister "ooh, you are adding to her anxiety". FWIW, my DD went to a state school, got degree in accounting and had the same job for the past 3 years that is now paying for her masters. I used her college fund as a downpayment for HER condo. My niece still lives with her parents.[/quote]
