Are you supposed to move back in with your parents after college?

There is no rule or anything saying you can or can’t. It depends where you are in life and what happens. Sometimes going to college doesn’t guarantee you a job in today’s economy. Jobs are hard to come by even with a college degree. I’m sure there are a lot of people moving back in with their parents at least until they find a job and are able to support themselves. Its hard to make it, and if you are lucky enough to have parents that are able to support you that is great. If they are just taking advantage of the parent though and not making an effort to further their lives then its not so good… you have to keep trying to get anywhere in life.

There really is no rule, regarding it. I will when I finish studying next year, be living with my parents for another 3 years until I am fully qualified and then move out.

You aren’t “supposed to” but it is so hard for new college graduates to get started on their career these days that it is now common.

Usually when kids go off to college they make it their goal to do both school & save up some money to get their own place…getting a roommate is usually the way it works…but with the way the economy is and has been for the last 2 years has made it so difficult if not impossible to do either or! if you can take a loan for school then you need to pay it off either way you need money. When you finally finish college & think hey I did it now I can get a job & begin working…well news flash, you cant…there are no real companies that will give you the time of day to eve get your feet wet unless you agree to working for free yes people you heard me for “FREE”as a trial base thing for at least 3 months just to show them in good faith that you are not just interested in the money but in the experience which is what you lack coming right out of college. I mean put yourself in a bosses shoes he needs someone that knows what he is doing not a new kid on the block trying to worm his way into the company nor does he have the manpower to have someone babysit you til you actually know what the hell you are doing in your position anyways! if you see it fro that point of view then you will see why college grads have a hard time getting into the real world after school & why they have no choice but to come back home…get any job to pay off school loans leaving no more money to also rent an apt with a roommate til they can afford it!

No one’s fault but societies…I mean seriously the kid just fin college give him a break…pay him half of the money you would to an experienced worker, but dont use them til you feel ready to start paying him 30% of his worth…I mean seriously…colleges should make it a priority to find a job for these people so they dont just have a nice paper to hang on the wall for show & tell!!!

Hope this answered your question!

No….it’s not a “supposed to” kinda deal. Ideally, you’ll find a job and want to get out on your own. It’s just that now, with the unemployment so high..many graduates HAVE to move home.

p

My parents said that after I’m 18 if I want to live at home I have to pay rent -.-

Yup. It’s a new trend right now that they are tracking. More grads are going back home now than ever before. It’s just with the cost of living so high, new grads cant afford to be on their own.

Hmmm there is no way I will be moving back in with my mother after I finally finish university. Aside from the fact it would be beyond pathetic as I will be ATLEAST 24, I just couldnt take living with her again. As much as I love her, I think our relationship is better when I dont have to see her constantly.
