I'm in this age group. I don't know what to do with myself. I spent about 1.5 years after college trying to figure out to do and then another year of straight work building the framework for what I am doing now. Personal life, forget a lot of it doing what I am doing. I gave a lot of lot trying to get where I think I am going, but the road does have the occasional bumps & u-turns. It is very tough doing what I am doing, seeing other people getting married, have kids, upgrading cars & buying houses. I can go on and on about this. Being a young person really sucks.
Whether you women want to believe it or not, their VALUE from a dating perspective (not as a person) will decline than what it was when they were in their 20's.
It has nothing to do with VALUE, it's more to do with the fact that there will be less available men to date them. It's not necessarily that the women become less attractive or desirable, it's that there are less single/available men. That's all.
I went through a severe quarterlife crisis from the age of 24 to about 26. Just give it some time. Enjoy the rest of your 20s because 30 comes up pretty fast.
I'm 28 and sometimes feel like that. I have a career that I don't really care for, I just picked it because I didn't know what else to do in college. I have an idea of what I'd like to do, but can't support myself doing it. The last year has pretty much sucked...one disappointment after the next and I feel like I just keep getting stomped on. Sometimes I feel like running away, but I realize the problems would just follow me.
Strangely enough, I'm not depressed about my age. My twenties haven't been that great so I think I'll survive turning 30.
I used to do a lot of volunteer work and I think I need to get back to being involved. That might help.
Wow, it's weird reading this over a year later!
I have ditched the job I hated and moved to a new city and state. I'm less than 2 months away from turning 30, and I don't mind. For the first time in a LONG time, I am happy and looking forward to the future.
I had a quarterlife crisis when I turned 25. Then my best friend asked me if I REALLY thought I would live to be 100. That helped. LOL
I am around your age and many of my friends as well as myself have gone through the same thing. It's a bit of a struggle because you realize you're an adult and nothing is handed to you. Accomplishments do not come with age anymore. Many of my friends struggle to land a job in their major that they busted their ass for and realize that they may have to change directions. Even friends that did land good jobs feel empty and unfulfilled because their job is just simply a nice paycheck and lack social lives. After college we have total control of our lives and its a bit of an adjustment because we're so used to following a curriculum, preparing for it, and being handed an A+ for doing well. There's no timeline anymore or right/wrong way to go about your life because it's YOUR LIFE.
