There was time in my life were I paid for my haircuts in change I found under my parents couch. They didn't have any money either. While it's not worst circumstance in the world I decided that I didn't care to live like that. A decade later I'm now another peon at a generic Fortune 500 Company in my own trendy downtown apartment. I'm in total agreement that millennials were codded way too much from "helicopter parents" but on the flip side the world isn't what it was decades ago especially for baby boomers were you could nearly always find a decent paying job with an affordable home no matter your profession. If I had a son or daughter that was failing to launch I'd kick them out of the house but if we lived in San Francisco Or New York I might think twice.

Repeating what another poster wrote, it's managing expectations. It's okay to peruse a liberal arts degree and you should follow your dreams however be aware you probably won't get far with just a bachelors. Hell, even if you manage to get your PhD don't expect wealth, fame or even employment but turn back the clock a few decades this wasn't necessarily the case. You could work a bookstore, clerk or what have you and still get by but that's as true as it was which I think many baby-boomers have failed to understand.
