One mum told me how she goaded her son to change his attitude in life. Her son who graduated with a degree chose not to work full-time but only pick and choose not to hold down a job. She took him to a coffee shop after dinner one evening where a sign says "Dish washer for hire… pay $xx". "Dish washer manager $3K". Then she told the son, "Even a dish washer gets paid higher than you" and you have a degree. Now the son is working in an IT industry with a pay higher than $3K. Sometimes, we as parents worry but it is the facts of life out there, that will change the child’s thinking if correct comparisons are made. Kudos to this friend for her quick-thinking.
