In my early 30's now and I often muse on how poorly prepared I actually was, coming right out of school.

Basically, society molds the young to fit an image. Then those young people all compete over that image, hopefully start to realize this is a terrible idea and there are better things, and start looking for a niche to exit to. And then perhaps 20 years later they've learned enough to successfully hit that niche!
