FWIW, I've been seeking out recent ODU grads or people about to graduate. They essentially thumb their nose at 30k

That probably has to do with the fact that it has become socially acceptable to live at the parents' house until they are in their 30s and the parents allow it.

Qualified applicants turn down crappy pay because they live with their parents?

With the cost of student loans and housin costs, it only makes sense for kids to stay home longer. Why wouldnt you?

Because you cannot self-actualize in that situation. It is also horrible for self-esteem. You cannot begin accumulating responsibilities when you aren't even taking care of yourself. My kids are getting the boot as soon as they are out of school.
