In the United States, students generally seek an independent life at 18. They take on part-time jobs, live away from their parents, and finance their own education partially, if not completely. Upon graduation, they find a job, or launch their own business by filing for loans from the bank. They live in rented apartments even after marriage and buy a house only when they can afford it. This is a typical pattern how the American younger generation grows up.
By contrast, most college students in present-day China, as the sole children of their families, take for granted their excessive dependence upon their parents. They hold their parents responsible for furnishing them with all the tuitions and living expenses. They seldom work part-time to alleviate their parents of their burdens. They have expensive dinners and birthday celebrations with their parents’ hard-earned money through months of hard work.
In recent years, under the pretext of employment difficulty, some students return home to live with their parents after graduation. While their parents are busy at work, they idle away their time day after day, least concerned with finding a job to have their own source of income. Worse still, they exhaust every penny of their parents and even grandparents to buy an apartment for their own enjoyment. In doing so, they even plunge their parents into serious debts.
在美国,学生通常寻求一个独立生活在18岁。他们兼职工作,生活远离他们的父母,自己和金融教育部分,如果不完全。毕业后,他们找到一份工作,或者启动自己的业务从银行申请贷款。他们住在租来的公寓即使结婚和买房子,只有当他们可以负担得起。这是一个典型的美国年轻一代成长模式如何。
相比之下,大多数大学生在当今的中国,他们的家庭的唯一的孩子,理所当然他们过度依赖他们的父母。他们持有他们的父母负责提供所有的学费和生活费。他们很少做兼职减轻父母的负担。他们有昂贵的晚餐和生日庆典,父母辛辛苦苦挣来的钱通过几个月的辛勤工作。
近年来,就业困难的借口下,一些学生毕业后回家与父母同住。虽然他们的父母忙于工作,他们空闲时间一天又一天,最不关心找工作有自己的收入来源。更糟的.是,他们排每一分钱的父母,甚至祖父母给自己买一套公寓的享受。在这样做的时候,他们甚至他们的父母陷入严重的债务。
