Somehow, even though I knew she was a music major, I'd forgotten it. I got my first music degree in 1983, and I kept getting them for the next ten years (my PhD in Music Education came in 1993).

Living with parents is a very, very slippery slope. Strong psyches are built through tough times, and it's not always a good idea to take the path of least resistance. Although the parents offer an amount of security, the independence you'll have to trade away is too valuable at your stage in life.

I know a lot of people who lived with parents and they always vowed that they would remain independent (in between Mom doing the laundry and cooking and Dad mowing the lawn and fixing the wobbly dresser). It's hard to do.
