Parents Invade Gen Z Careers, KPMG Interns Want the C-Suite, and LinkedIn Ranks Top Colleges

August 5, 2026: I look at the Wall Street Journal story on parents getting involved in their adult children's careers, from job fairs to calls with hiring managers. Then I get into a new KPMG survey showing interns now rank career growth above salary and work-life balance, with 93% aspiring to reach senior leadership. Finally, I unpack LinkedIn's 2026 Top Colleges list and why families should think less about prestige and more about outcomes, cost, skills, and career ROI.
