PARENTS HELPING THEIR KIDS

One of the consequences of the current job market is the well documented fact, at least anecdotally, that more young adults and recent college graduates are moving back home to live with their parents. After helping their children get an education, many parents are now faced with the prospect of providing continuing financial support. This is certainly not the scenario that was planned by all concerned. Given this development, it makes sense for parents to consider investing in job search assistance for their kids. In the long run, helping their children become more effective job seekers will cost parents a lot less, both financially and emotionally.
