21st Century Parenting

Apparently some parents of recent college graduates feel that their children are incapable of being on their own. Today's Wall Street Journal reports on a wide variety of companies, from GE to Vanguard to Pella to Ferguson Enterprises, who have found a candidate's parents seriously involved in the hiring process. I'm not talking about the parent's giving their kids their advice. Today some parents accompany their kids to the interviews. Others try to negotiate the deal. Others make the opening call.

It's a heck of a different world out there.
