		<description><![CDATA[It has been a difficult year economically for employment opportunities. It was already bad before with over a third of 18-34 yr. olds living at home with parents but the trend has increased with adult children who were already well launched becoming more of the boomerang generation. Several issues come up with this group and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Father's Day is a good day to reflect on the much needed role of fathers giving career and job advice to their teens and adult children. Fathers forget that the coaching they give helps create the independence that keeps adult children from having to move back home. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I tell, people that my son is working full time for $40,000/yr. plus bonuses, they respond that we are lucky that he has an uncle to hire him. Luck had nothing to do with it. I did what I have been telling people to do for years now. Parents need to network your young adult early on in their college career and then help them build their work resume for a job. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  The problem was that while the intensions  by the State to take care of people who had experienced bad luck were good ones, there was no real pathway to help them find jobs or develop skills to get off welfare. ...These are all the things I see missing in our young people. The whole idea of a job isn't even addressed until a student graduates high school or college.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is as if parents and students are waiting to the meet the College Fairy right after getting that degree and poof, she hands over the six figure job and all its glory. I watch this dance year after year. Students who never worked or managed bills or their own money struggle to comprehend the whole world of "getting a  job". Successful in academe, they now are rejected for their lack of work experience. ]]></description>
