Life after college

"our daughter is a medical student, right? There will probably be a gap of several weeks between her graduation and the beginning of her residency. Will you allow her to live with you during that gap period (or at least until the lease starts on her new apartment)? "

  • I was OK with her living with us, but she did not. It was no time for her to come home. She just stayed where she was (in different city). It does not really matter. Medical School is a special case because everybody has a job after medical school.

    What I meant by my comments was that graduate actually should have a job. Several weeks does not matter. Many decide on the major without any research of the job market. Well, I am happy that they were happy for 4 years, but how about the life after college? Do they want to continue to be happy on parents’ dime? If it is OK with parents, then it is OK with me. I would not support it in my family though, I do not care what others may decide, I was expressing what is important to me. Or we should only say things that would be agreeable with everybody else in a world? I guess so, considering all the PC, we really should just repeat after one another, it would be a better world if we do.
