I goto college and I have noticed that a lot of people in their 20s and even 30s, have no desire to ever own a house. Most have no desire for an actual career, except the ones in college and even then their ambitions are low. I cannot fathom why anyone, especially someone going to college to earn a degree; how they would be content living in an apartment. I know the economy is bad, but no one even seem to have the desire for the American dream. Many now are just content with hookups and basically living in an over-priced box. I have no desire to have kids, but I want a nice house, a wife, a nice car. My generation, I feel have just become an ambition-less generation of spoiled brats.
actually I find that most people in their 20s & 30s are doing extremely well -- they are the ones that are being hired for the high paying positions and are renting nice apartments that rent for well over $2500 for one bedroom and many are in the position to interview & hire people
I myself have realized that I am screwed and I am told that explicitly or implicitly by everyone I meet because bad choices in life are cumulative meaning they follow you for life now especially careerwise. I have only been able to get contract work that is unsteady and unstable. I realize that I will never own a house and only have a few months of rent in the bank should this job end.
There is nothing to be happy about. The only way I get thru the day is with high doses of Adderall, Wellbutrin & Gabapentin.
