What Is It About 20's?

After reading the article, I felt that the social and economic changes in society have caused individuals to reach adulthood at later periods in their lives. The article claims that with each decade that went by, individuals were reaching their "milestones" at later ages than the decade before. In addition, society has made reaching adulthood harder and harder for each generation to come. Getting degrees and getting jobs are becoming more difficult in this generation, which can confuse individuals into thinking that reaching adulthood is unattainable. Being in your 20's is a truly confusing period in anyone's life and the added pressure from society makes things more confusing on the individual. I personally think that individuals should reach adulthood at their own pace and on their own terms. Everyone has different goals and different time frames for reaching those goals. If society did not put so much pressure on individuals to reach adulthood by a certain age, than most individuals would probably be more motivated to reach their goals.
