Let the kids go explore the world. Spending 6 months working and 6 months traveling in a cheaper place with friends sounds great.
It’s not like their $15/hr job is ever going to afford them a house if they just grind it out for the next 20 years. They can use that time for self discovery, learning new things, and maybe getting a more stable situation for the future.

They have the privilege of a US passport and an exchange rate in their favor, might as well use it over the short term. Who knows what the world will even be like environmentally when they’re older and have spent their life doing the “proper thing”.
