[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] Nope the HYP DD already has a leg up and does not need to be a nonstop striver.[/quote]
