What do you think of parents who financially support their HIGHLY INTELLIGENT, EDUCATED &
ABLE-BODIED adult children from the late 20s-middle 30s?
This is not fantastical. I know some cases. There was a woman where I had my first job who supported her 30-ish son who had a Ph.D. in psychology. He didn't get his first job until he was 39. Another case was a mother whose late 20-ish daughter had TWO Masters Degrees but refuse to work unless it was in a job commensurate w/her education. Both parents were working class.
P.S. I can see supporting RECENT college graduates in their early 20s until they find something that is commensurate w/their education.
