Proof It's Not Just Me...

I think I need to print out vast quantities of this article and give them to my parents and my peers' parents:

From David Brooks writing in the New York Times

Do you guys agree with him?

I agree very much, and grad school might take the place as college and High school did before them, But i think that there needs to always be a "go off and search for my fortune" time, like running off to the army or off to sea, something that gets them out of there comfort zone.....just some thoughts

yeah that's true - and maybe in some generations, it wasn't economically possible to do that "going off & searching."

but this generation has known a lot of prosperity - so it's easier and not looked on as irresponsible to undertake that searching process for years.

who knows!

That was an interesting article. I think economics plays a much larger part in life than we think it does. I guess my only comment would be - why don't young people want to grow up today? What is the draw of dependence? MOM
