One actual comment on the content of that Time cover piece. Obviously, it’s a good thing that kids out of college aren’t rushing into marriage if they’re not ready, which most of them probably aren’t. But to some extent that piece was full of excuse-making: “it’s not that they don’t take adulthood seriously; they take it so seriously, they’re spending years carefully choosing the right path to it.” Now I’m all for experimenting, but a gal with 17 jobs since 1996? And then there is the five-years-(or more)-through-college trend. To some extent—and there are myriad exceptions, as always—this is just kids delaying taking on responsibility. Somewhere down the line, kids are not getting prepared for life, so they’re trying to “figure out” how to prepare themselves, when they should be living it.
