30 year olds with masters degrees who are still living with their parents? There must be additional information because this is just crazy. In 'flyover' country you don't see this. I'm assuming this is California or NY?

I think another component might be the major.

It's a mistake to think all masters degrees are equally 'bankable'

The fact that the master degrees claim was made without specifying what degrees those masters were in is telling.

There might also be a skew due to COVID. Many single people moved back in with their parents because why not, no rent to pay and you can WFH anyways. And it’s not like the social life would go anywhere.

In this case I was referencing my own country, the Netherlands. We're heavily urbanized and no location in the country is ever more than 4 hours driving away.
