[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kayaking instructor isn’t a “crap job” he had to take because IB didn’t want him. That’s something he pursued with intention. There are few times in your life when you can take a paying job doing EXACTLY what you want to do, but age 22 is one of those times. It sounds like a great plan to me and his math degree isn’t going anywhere.
FWIW my kid is at HYP and feeling the pressure to have some amazing career path right out of the gate in no small part because of the culture of the school. I’ve encouraged her to think of her 20s as really “hers” and a time when it’s ok if the path twists around a bit. We aren’t wealthy, she needs and wants to be a self sufficient adult, and the good news is there are so many ways to do that [/quote]

You are wrong. Your twenties are the time to jump-start your career.

Both you and your DD need to read “The Defining Decade” by Meg Jay. Young adults in their twenties NEED to be gunners. [/quote]

[b]It’s this goofball again.

Guess what goofball [/b]— you don’t get to tell other people how to live their lives.  If other people want to mess around in their 20s, it’s not your business at all.

It’s fine to be poor in your 20s.  I did, I had a great time, and now I’ve got a paid off house, fully paid school for my kids, and more money than I can use.

Not everyone wants to grind through life maximizing the time value of every cent and every minute. [/quote]

NP here.  I kind of agree with your point, but you undermine your argument when you insult the PP by calling him/her a goofball.  I tend to be more persuaded by people who make their point without attacking a person.[/quote]

That’s fair, but this same PP on another thread was basically telling multiple people that they were wrong about their own life experience (e.g. “no, you don’t have the amount of money you claim to, because you didn’t follow my plan for your life in your 20s”), which I found very silly.  [/quote]
