[quote=Anonymous]I was an English major at Yale. I did work all through high school and college at crappy lifeguarding/food service/office jobs, so a had a work history. My first job out of Yale paid $30K a year. My second paid 25K but came with housing. I did grad school part time during that job since they paid for part of it. It’s many years later and I am doing fine in an interesting non-profit job. I would probably be doing better professionally but I married a Yale classmate and he ended up in a really high paying but demanding job and I am the default parent. This was my choice and I knew the career consequences. I haven’t taken as many professional chances as I might have if I was on my own, but I really like my life. Your daughter needs to take a job, any job and get her feet wet. Your twenties is when you job hop and figure out what you want to do. There is no such thing as underemployment if it’s a step to the next thing. [/quote]
