journal entry #5


Get used to living with Mom and Dad

There is a growing trend of more adults living with their parents. They are described as lazy overgrown babies. A few reasons why more and more adults are living at home is because, it is hard for new workers to get into the working field and also the cost of housing that is climbing. It isn’t because the generation is lazy it is because of a series of unfortunate overlapping trends. This causes a disadvantage for them not being able to become independent like their parents were able to do. Since it is hard for young people to get jobs it just keeps getting harder because more job are requiring more schooling. The schooling that you need for a decent job is getting longer and more expensive. Many young people live at home because they need experience for career they want to go into, but they have to interne somewhere to get the experience. When you are interning you don’t get paid which means you can’t move out if you’re not making money to pay your bills. Lower class people have always had to have everyone working to keep the house hold afloat. People are able to own house because of the GI bill that was passes.
