Sources confirm that Benjamin Fuller, a recently graduated BYU engineering student, was ecstatic to finish his finals and set off into the real world. In an upbeat Facebook post this morning, Fuller announced his latest career plans to immediately accept a fulltime position in his parents’ basement.

“I’ll have to uproot myself and move back across the country to my parents’ house in Idaho, but this opportunity will 100% be worth it.” says Fuller, briefly glancing at his empty bank account, “People are always talking about the amazing work-life balance my parents’ basement provides. Mostly life, and only a little work every once in a while when the trash needs to be taken out.”

The amenities and perks of life at the Fuller home are said to rival that of any tech company. Besides the ping pong table, homemade meals every day, and free room and board, basement residents are allowed unlimited sick days and can be focused on career development for as many or as few hours as they want.

“In this economy, we knew we would eventually have to have someone living in our basement. It might as well be our son.” says Ben’s father, Jacob Fuller, “To be clear though, we did send out the application to a lot of other people but no one was interested.”

Although Fuller had hoped to start off his career at a big engineering firm, he understands that, considering the impending economic recession, that may not be possible anymore. Fuller, however, remains optimistic about the future:

“Oh no, I’m not going to let this setback get me down. I’m going to climb the corporate ladder of this house until I’m the one sleeping in the master bedroom and driving the family minivan.”
