[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope that the parents who participate in this board understand what even the best-paper college students and recent grads are facing out there. The job situation is simply terrible. There simply are nearly no jobs except for Ivy grads and the like. The jobs that do exist typically are low wage (much lower than decent blue-collar wages), and typically offer few if any benefits. Be forgiving if your DCs need to move back home for a while. [/quote] I wholeheartedly agree. I don't think any generation of kids has had it harder than these kids. Many of them have material advantages that I and my parents didn't have, but the global economy makes for so much more competition and stress. My rising college sophmore is already very anxious about finding a job based on what she's hearing from recent grads and she's no academic slouch - she just realizes that even with an Ivy degree getting a job is going to be exceedingly difficult.[/quote]
