[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Failure to launch is a thing. Part of it is the nature of the economy -- more service-oriented. [b]Part of it is delayed fatigue and burnout from intense college and high school. Part of it is ridiculous expectations and a reluctance to pay dues.[/b][/quote] These are my theories, too. 1) High school/college = syllabi, clear rules, tests, regular kudos, and (relatively) easy to achieve praise if you're smart and follow directions 2) Working world = no guarantees, the rules can change, your boss is not required to follow a syllabus, no matter how great your resume you may not get the job, everyone starts at the bottom, people are more interested in telling you what you did wrong than right -- not the experience most of these high-achievers have ever had or know how to excel at[/quote]
