I'm one of 5, the rest of us all work hard and have degrees and jobs, and worked in all our university holidays and are now independent. my little sister had a gap year before uni, did two years of a medicine degree then decided she didn't like it and dropped out and took another gap year, then started uni again but decided to do a 4 year biology degree course with a year out (ostensibly studying) abroad, she is now coming to the end of that degree and has never worked in a single universtiy holiday or during her gap years AND she is now talking about doing a law conversion course (1 year, expensive) and the bar course to train to be a barrister!!!!!!!!!!!! alternatively she thinks she 'might do a phd' but admits she wouldnt want to be a lecturer, it would just be 'interesting i suppose'
I don't know how to make her see how immature and selfish she is being. my parents sigh and say they agree she should get a job, but equally continue to subsidise her lifestyle at uni (expensive clothes, skiing holidays, summer holidays), they are not poor, but nor are they ridiculously wealthy.
I'm so fed up with it!
