... (They) call my efforts a waste of money - and dangerous. ...
DEAR AMY: I’m a financially independent 27-year-old woman. I work in the beauty industry. My parents do not support my career advancement and skill development.
It’s an investment in myself. My parents express their disappointment and call my efforts a waste of money - and dangerous.Recently, I was very down because I had to cancel a three-hour trip to a skills development show. I’d spent weeks preparing. This is the entrepreneur’s journey you have chosen. You must encounter some risk in order to reap your reward.
My own opinion is that you should get a second part-time gig to pay the bills, and plow ahead with your efforts to develop your skills and network with other pros. You’ll get there.DEAR AMY: My 50-something son, currently unemployed, has struggled financially and career-wise since he graduated college 30 years ago.
I have offered several times over the years to pay for him to see a career counselor. He is always lukewarm to the idea.I’m not sure there is a middle road.DEAR SADDENED: If your son approaches you for career advice, you should offer it. Be honest, but not brutal.
