Great points. I know people in there 40s and 50s who are still lost.

I had one friend who started uni and decided they did not know what they wanted, worked at a hotel for 4 years and then went back.

I also have known many many people who struggled for direction in the 18 -24 year range. Many joined the military for a few years, and most, not all, like 85%, had a good handle on life. Several have been very successful.
