I recently talked to a bay area parent whose child graduated with an engineering degree from a top liberal arts college and has a job as a research scientist. The parent said that thanks to the housing crunch, they get to have him at home for a while longer. It is a silver lining for these parents, but of course it's not so great for families that don't have the extra room, or who live in an area where jobs are not available.
