Melissa, a twenty-four-year-old college graduate with a degree in journalism, has spent most of her time out of college piecing together a string of freelance jobs just so she can be sure to cover her rent, food, and transportation costs. Her biggest problem hasn't been getting a job. It's been securing a good job that allows her to launch her career and comfortably cover her expenses. Her parents help her out from time to time, and she's now considering whether she should move back home temporarily. "I'm disappointed, because growing up I was told that if I get an education, if I go to college, then I'll be successful," she says. "In reality, it hasn't helped me that much."
