Three Things To Do If You're A Boomerang
"Oh, so you're part of the Boomerang Generation?" - Lady at DMV.
The first time someone called me a Boomerang, I didn't really know how to react so I just chuckled & brushed it aside. Boomerangers are defined as "Generation-X aged persons who return home to live with their parents after being unable to find jobs that will provide adequate compensation to support them as well as their parents did." The definition should probably get modified to add other generations as the trend is increasing with 85% of college graduates moving back with their parents.
