Interesting Huffington Post article that I think is very relevant to a VERY LARGE number of my peers.
There was a comment on the article that I thought was particularly illustrative of what I’ve been hearing from a lot people:
“Part of the 1/4 life crisis has to do with how the economy has changed over the past few decades. The whole concept of “education = job = career = home, family and a comfortable retirement” is not such a linear trajectory anymore.
“Many of our parents started out with nothing, but were able to move gradually forward. They couldn’t have it all and have it now, but they could eventually get ahead. Today, people take on massive debt just to go to college. We step into our adult lives being tens of thousands of dollars in the red, only to find that we’re qualified for a $10/hr job.”
