[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience the real issue is that they're not willing to take jobs "beneath" them. They come out of college expecting to earn at least $50K without any prior work experience and then want to be rewarded/promoted for doing the basics of their job. Their outrageous expectations and entitlement have led them to believe that no job at all is better than a lower paying job.[/quote]

This.  My brother who’s in his late 20swas like this. So frustrating [/quote]
+1  and some of them are not willing to reallly "pound the pavement".  I have a nephew like this.

However, I have a niece who has a masters in a LA field, working for $35K/yr.  So, she took a job waitressing on the weekend.  At one point, she was working three jobs while in college. But, even with that, her mom was helping her out by paying her cell phone bill. I think helping out a little bit is ok, but if they are still living at home and  the parent is paying for travel expenses and car insurance? That's too much.  At the minimum, I'd make them pay a bit of rent if they were living at home.[/quote]
