Summary  

Many parents are concerned about their mid to late-20s children who lack drive and initiative and are struggling to find their way in terms of career and life. Underemployment is a significant issue, with over half of college graduates working in fields unrelated to their degrees. This not only affects their earnings potential but also their sense of competence and autonomy. Early intervention is crucial to prevent long-term underemployment and the associated negative impact on self-esteem and hope. It is important for individuals to make informed choices based on their own interests and passions rather than succumbing to external pressure. The problem of underemployment is growing and requires proactive solutions.
