And how much additional debt is he racking up to pay for grad school? How many more years will he be unable to support himself because he is paying off student loans? No mention of what he's studying, but if he can't get a job with a 4 year degree, will his outlook be better with a Masters or PHD? But since mom is a "nonprofit director" she probably shares the liberal fetish for higher eduction, regardless of the cost and benefits thereof.
He can still work while attending graduate school. He just doesn’t want to work.
A Bachelor’s Degree is basically what a High School Diploma was just twenty years ago. The problem is so many people have a Bachelor’s Degree today that having a Master’s Degree is what is special and helps to get you in the door. That is just the way it is today. I know a lot of FREEPERS hate advanced education, but that is what getting a job today takes. I am glad that I received my Master’s Degree back in 2000 because soon having a Master’s Degree will be you basic minimum degree needed to get a job. Unless someone gets some sort of trade, you will need to have a Master’s Degree to get any professional job very shortly.
