I haven't been keeping up. Are they still able to stay on your health insurance until they are 25 or 27 or whatever? That was one part of Obamacare that I liked because I just didn't have insurance in college and took a pretty big set back with my health problems for four years. Was glad to see that was less likely for future generations.
That is a pretty good safety net tho. Someone that age all you really need is access to transportation, health care and and a cell phone. You have the ability to get everything else you need. But it is a tough work force to enter. Tougher than ever I figure.
My girlfriend is 23 (dont judge) and she got her first job outside of the restaurant industry after getting her degree. She is now a research scientist at one of the most prestigious research schools in the country in Vanderbilt. She makes 15 an hour. To my eyes, that's about the very minimum I would need to survive, but also she has limited experience. It doesnt matter if you have a doctorate in physics that you spent 800k to get, you better be planning to work for less than 40k a year for 3 to 5 years. That's the way it is now. And you'll die with some of that debt.
Someone taking the edge off of what it takes to survive for this generation entering the work force is nice. It's a fact. I think it's almost a period in time where you could consider that a nice safety net, or the minimum it would take not to see them struggle. Without help, it doesnt matter if you're a genius who made all the grades. You are expected to pay for an education that amounts to 20 years of your entry level wages. GOOD LUCK! Kids these days will need help getting thru that.
My brother in his infinite wisdom was pushed both by guidance counselors and high school teachers all the way thru college profs get his Masters Degree in music education. I feel like they hosed him tho knowing hed get paid <50k with 300k+ in debt. fluff just isnt fair for this generation.
