[quote=Anonymous]I'm a Gen Y-er. Late 20s. I got into a discussion the other day with an acquaintance about something I've been noticing my peers doing: they graduate college, then find some sort of degree to pursue- a second degree related to their first, or a Master's, usually. Once they've gotten this degree out of the way, they start making plans for the next degree, which tends to be a J.D. All said and done, they're planning on being done with school riiiight around the age of 30. The thing is, until my generation, it didn't seem like advanced degrees and continuing education were a bad thing- it was seen as being ambitious and motivated. Unfortunately, my generation has totally flipped that, to where now it's the exact opposite- now it's just a way to avoid being a part of the real world and actually having to work. When I hear about some upper middle class kid I went to school with entering school for their third degree at age 28, I just roll my eyes. At what point do you actually want to grow up and be a real adult and not a perpetual student? I decided this is the worst quality of my generation: the desire to prolong adulthood and live like a college student as long as possible. Grow the fuck up, Gen Y-ers. [/quote]
