AdvertisementI think it's common for new college graduates to want to wait for their dream job or something they're passionate about to come along.
That's not realistic and, in my experience, typically means their parents still have to support them.
My dream job was to work for a popular Southern lifestyle magazine, but the job would have started as a six-month unpaid internship.
Had my parents supported me through this, I wouldn't have become self-sufficient as quickly, and it wouldn't have set a great boundary.
