A friend's roommate who graduated college late at 28 years old, and had never worked a job before, leveraged their extracurriculars into a management position at a local movie theater. Their parents were still paying for their health insurance, cell phone bill, apartment rent, groceries, etc. They totalled their car and their parents replaced it at no cost to them in two days.
