:(

You're awesome though.

Look at all these people who failed the bar: http://www.buzzfeed.com/deenashanker/fail-the-bar-become-president#.ddGRAAll3

I think we can conclude from this list that failing the bar will make you famous and successful. Or something.

I think education and training are the things you shouldn't feel guilty about asking your parents for money for. They're necessary investments in helping you earn your own money so you don't have to ask your parents for more money.

My parents are just pretty not well off. Probably lower middle class? Not sure. They don't make a regular salary so it is hard to tell. But we've had a lot of unforseen medical expenses. So asking for another 100 dollars for the bar and plus food/etc. expenses and then plane and hotel expenses to fly back to Boston in February.

I'm hoping to find a part-time job where I can work a few hours a day and still have study time so at least I can pay them back a little. But I'm 30 and still taking money from my parents so I feel bad.

Although, actually, they never put much expenses into my schooling before. I took out loans for everything. It never occurred to me this wasn't normal, but my sister was complaining the other day about how most parents help pay for schooling and how they always downplayed state schools to us and so we've ended up with more debt. They actually bought a house specifically so that money wouldn't go to our schooling.

Oh... wow. :( I honestly don't know if my situation is normal, but my parents (reasonably financially secure but not rich) paid for our schooling and never even considered doing it any other way. Education is an important aspect of raising a kid, and I don't really understand it when parents don't do this. Why would you not contribute to your child's chances of success? My parents would sooner die of shame than buy themselves a new house or anything fancy while their kids were crushed under the weight of student loans.

I worked summer jobs in the last couple years of high school and through college and all the money went toward school and my everyday expenses while I was there. So while it's not like I got off scot free, I obviously had a much easier ride than many of my peers did and I'm grateful to my parents for it.

I'm probably the wrong person to be talking to about being dependent on other people for money because I'm in disability support payment limbo. Too sick to work, but we're not sure if you're sick enough to give you money because we can't pronounce what you have.

You're already in the good child category because you don't want to be taking money from your parents, IMO. You can't really help your circumstances, but you are doing your best right now and you want to be independent in the future. You don't expect your parents to support you while you remain unemployed forever.

I payed for a lot of things either out of pocket or with loan schemes after I turned 18. I didn't really expect anyone to pay for me because none of my extended family are well off and I didn't want to ask my former legal guardian. So idk. Normal is what's normal for your situation. Some of my friends were in the same boat and some of them had parents either helping out with loans or paying out of pocket for them to study or get an apartment. My friend's parents bought him an apartment in the city that must be worth maybe 700k. Then they sold it because he was slacking with his studies and made him move back home to the guest house. He's upset, but I find it (secretly) hilarious that that's the worst thing that's ever happened to him. Living rent free next to a swimming pool.

In the meantime, are there any government incentive type payment schemes for people seeking work where you are? We have the Newstart allowance which is financial assistance for people actively seeking jobs. It's one of the easiest ones to apply for and a lot of my friends have been on it when they were between jobs or studying. It was you that was having foot problems I think? It's also currently doubling as a temporary disability support payment for people who are expecting to get back to work in the near future.

Maybe it's a bit outdated now that college is more expensive than ever, but my parents believed that we should pay for college ourselves. I come from a poor family so they couldn't pay for it even if they wanted to, so it all comes out the same. There is no such thing as normal when it comes to who pays for schooling.

That's shitty that they discounted public unis though.
