Congratulations! That is one of life's greatest milestones -- and yet we don't have a common term for it.
I'm my parents' last child and am soon to graduate Grad school and enter 'the working world'. I can definitely feel their relief in knowing decades of parental sacrifices and obligations have paid off and finally come to an end.

Savour that pride and relief -- you've earned it.
