I’m 22 years old and I’ll be graduating from college with my B.A. in a few months. In my field, there aren’t really any jobs I can get right away that pay a ton. I’ll have to start with a lower-paying job and work my way up towards a higher-paying job. The thing is, the jobs I’ll start out with won’t pay enough for me to support myself. Therefore, I’ll probably be living with my parents for at-least a year after I’ve graduated and they’ll be financially supporting me during that time as well.
Now here’s the thing. This will not be a permanent situation. It will only last between 1 and 2 years. So for those of you who say that I should be supporting myself, I will, but just not right away. So, is it normal for someone from an upper middle class family to still be financially dependent on their parents for 2 years after graduating from college?
