graduates

Most graduates in the Class of 2013 left campus with more than a diploma. Nearly 7 out of 10 also had  student loan debt. The average amount: $28,400, up 2 percent from the debt of those who graduated a year earlier.

The day after graduation at Miami University in Ohio, I took a run through campus.

Ok, so maybe some of us baby boomers deserve the "helicopter parents" label for the way we hover over our kids. Still, I can't imagine accompanying my bearded 20-something son on a job interview. I may be in the minority here because taking Mom and Dad on job searches and to interviews appears to be a weird new trend.
