[quote=Anonymous][mastodon][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle class people and strivers are soooo boring because EVERY decision is about money. (I’m not saying that money isn’t important, but there’s no need to fixate on it; life is more colorful than money alone.) Consequently, they are not fun, witty, interesting, informative, or even friendly. Instead, they are highly practical, uptight, judgmental, and narrow-minded. If a kid can’t kayak at 22, when should he? According to the dopes on this thread: never. [/quote]

Strivers? Please, you are being incredibly classist and elitist here.

And he can kayak on the weekends while he works a 9 to 5 or is in grad school.

Seriously, do you really think that most of the people who never had an extended adolescence kayaking in their twenties are “practical, uptight, judgmental, and narrow-minded?” You are clearly the judgmental one here. [/quote]

As long as he’s paying his own bills and taxes I don’t think taking an unusual job counts as an extended adolescence.  Weird that you think office jobs are the only valid career path.  Maybe he’ll decide to launch his own kayak related business in a few years.  Maybe he will decide office work provides more stability and decide it’s better to kayak on weekends after all.  Maybe he’ll pivot into something totally different.  But it sounds like he’s found a job that suits him for now and that seems to me a fair adult choice — much better than having family support while he finds an “appropriate” job in this crap economy.[/quote]

Yes, taking a job kayaking instead of going to grad school or getting a career job (which isn’t that hard with an HYPS degree in Math) is indeed extending your adolescence. It’s not like being an adult at all. [/quote]
