Barry CourterEditor’s Note: Barry Courter has a 27-year-old son who is a college graduate and a 22-year-old daughter who is a college senior. Each week he poses a question he wishes they would ask.
Q: Dad, what are the pros and cons of moving back home after college?
A: For us or for you? Some of the pros would be that you’ll eat better, save money and have more time to find that career-starting job – soon I would hope. The cons are that, at the very least, it will feel like you have less freedom and that you’ve gone backward in life. It’s a viable option for many, however, as long as it’s understood it is temporary.
