Watch Ellen’s last appearance on The View From The Bay with Spencer Christian and Janelle Wang, aired on Dec. 2006

The statistics of young adults who are living at home without careers or jobs is only going to get worse over the next few months as layoffs occur and businesses close. Even before these economic times, one third of all 18-34 year olds were living at home and half of all graduating college seniors were going home to live with their parents. In order to help more parents on a larger scale, I am going to start blogging weekly to help parents return to parenting their young adults and get them to independence. Some parents enjoy their adult children living with them and that is fine. But the growing problem is that these adult children are not focused on work and careers and financial independence. I welcome questions to find out what are the most pressing issues. The bottom line is that college is not the answer. It should only be tool to a career program and parents should be helping network their young adults into the work world. I am here to help reach more to have success even in this difficult time. Welcome!

Ellen’s second interview on “The View from the Bay” television show with hosts Spencer Christian and Janelle Wang.  This segment aired on April 22nd and focused on the recent release of Ellen’s book, “Failure to Launch: How to Get Your Teens and Young Adults to Independence” and blog feature, The Golden Hammer wherein Ellen explained that college is just a hammer, a tool for creating the mansion that is one’s life and career. The builder still needs to have blueprints and expertise in building. To see the interview, go to The View From the Bay on the ABC network.
