[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of y’all’s children are going to have very hard first year working a real job and juggling house, car, kids, food, health.., unless you’re going to extend their allowance until they are 50?[/quote]

If my DC graduates from college and doesn't have a job that allows them $200 a month in spending money, then something has gone very, very wrong.  And I doubt it will be because they had an allowance in college.  [/quote]
NP If my DC entered college and doesn't have enough saved up for $200/month in spending money, or cannot work 5 hours/a week at a campus job to earn said spending money, and instead must rely on mommy to fund their Uber Eats and nights out with friends...something went very, very wrong. [/quote]

If my DC went to college without merit scholarship and was doing a major that did not get them a high paying job right out of college...something went very wrong.  Oh, and yes, they will have the monetary legup from us.[b] I would rather they did an internship over a summer job. [/b][/quote]
wow, if your kid is in a major that leads to high paying jobs after college (so assuming tech, business, etc.) and can't find a handsomely paid summer internship in that field...indeed something went very very wrong. my engineering major is making $25/hour this summer...and this is at a small company...the "coveted" internships at big tech companies, banks, etc. pay much more than that[/quote]

Ugh people like you really think they are special. I am not the PP but my Ds has a Congressional internship and making a tiny stipend. So no, not all “coveted” internships pay a ton or even at all. [/quote]
Ok. Congrats to her. I was responding to a post that brought up majors that lead to "high paying jobs right out of college." Do Congressional internships generally lead to high paying jobs out of college?[/quote]
