Are they too good for an apartment?
A friend of mine went to community college--for a little while. He didn't have much ambition and his parents helped make life comfortable for him. By 23 he was still working at the same job he was at 16--the install bay at Best Buy. He was still living in his childhood bedroom in his parents house.
One day, his father announced that he was charging my friend $400 a month rent. Incensed, he moved out in protest. He found some friends to share an apartment with. Within two years, he had gone from install bay tech, to install bay manager, to store manager. Then he moved to a store manager for Circuit City. He bought a condo. Then he got a job working for a car audio manufacturer working shows like SEMA. He has now hit the point where his lack of bachelor's degree is holding him back. He has gone back to college nights. He plans on proposing to his girlfriend (something he never had when he lived at home) soon.
If his father had never demanded that $400 in rent 4 years ago, I'm convinced he would still be single, without a degree, and working the install bay at Best Buy.
