[quote=Anonymous]Here's my take, OP. In HS and college you were given a specific path. Follow this path, work hard, and you are a success. But after school the path ends and you come to a big wide field where you have to make your own way with no formula to follow. This is where a lot of people (in their early 20s) run into crisis, but then they try a bunch of things, right their ship and figure it out. But, by going into consulting, you found another path to follow. Like in school you did what you were supposed to do...but it didn't work out. You have come to that open "field" later than many, and you are feeling like a failure because the first job that you have taken off the path seems like a step down. But it's not- it's just your first move as you figure things out and how to readjust your career goals and moves. Meanwhile, your friends are pairing off, etc. which naturally happens in your 30s. Are you dating? Why not? [/quote]
