[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is kind of interesting how smart these kids were supposed to be and now they are lucky if they can snag a GS11 job.

Many of these supposedly brilliant kids in our "prestigious" neighborhood are still playing video games all day and night in the McMansions....[/quote]

My daughter went to mclean HS and graduated from VA Tech with an Engineering degree.  She is working for a government contractor firm at 90k/year IT job, much higher than GS-11.  Yes, she is still living in my mclean home basement because she wants to save money in the next three years for a house down payment.  She gets free rent, food and transportation from mom and dad.[/quote]

Amen.  My Langley kid is still in college, but when he graduates, he's more than welcome to live at home while he works and saves money before moving out into his own place or with roommates.  I did that for a year after college, and it made all the difference.  I actually had a small cushion in my bank account rather than living from paycheck to paycheck in those early years.

There is nothing at all wrong with welcoming your college graduates back home.  In most cases, it makes a lot of financial sense.
