If a child is living at home, aimless and wandering AFTER college, it may be too late.
"The military" is not a good answer because to excel in a US military career, you will have to be an exceptionally ambitious and determined person.
If AFTER college, an adolescent lacks ambition, Office Candidate School might be tough to get into. OCS doesn't take every warm body with a college degree anymore.
If AFTER college the adolescent enlists but lacks exceptional ambition, those four years spent as an enlisted person will probably be wasted years spent pursuing a vocation that the person will never again pursue in life.
what the hell are you talking about?
The person graduated college probably in the spring or summer semester, given the timing of this thread. Doesn't have a real job yet. If home is Houston/dallas/NOLA/etc renting can be really expensive on a BS salary. Most people don't want to live at home but it is often necessary given the market.
I do agree that people in my age group need to adjust their expectations on what their first job out of school will be.

You raise good points. I will recognize your point that my scenario isn't universally applicable. It is possible to be a recent college grad that is not aimless and who has ambition. I do recommend that parents support that person by allowing them to live at home for the time it takes for them to get on their own.
I do agree with those parents who allow their adolescents plenty of time to get started in life. I do believe that this is the best way to build generational wealth in your family -- set the kids up for success so that they can make more than Mom or Dad.
