What are your thoughts on young adults (20s-30s) and older adults being grown women and men and still living under their parent's house? OR young adults who still haven't gotten anywhere in life since high school?
I know its different in American and Asian households. But If you're going to stay with your parents until you marry and move out to your own home. Wouldn't it be best if you have some discernible skills set under your belt?
I have a classmate from high school and I recently came into contact with him again. He, recently, turned 27 and he still hasn't gotten his driver's license nor learner's permit. He's been working in retail as a bagger and hasn't gone to college ever. He's not even sure of what he wants to do. He has poor social skills and social etiquette. He always makes excuses or reasons for not getting his driver's license. There's just so many reasons and inconvieniences that he plans to get his driver's license before he's 30. I mean isn't that late? He obviously has some dreams, but he doesn't have the courage to go after them. At this snail pace, how is he going to achieve anything? He's never gone to the gym, because it's not in distance of his house. He only runs when he tries to get across the street before the light changes, but other than that, no running or jogging, just walking.
It just doesn't seem like he challenges himself much or even make a difference of his life at all. Too comfortable in his sheltered lifestyle. He's going to be stuck behind while his siblings sped ahead of him in life.
As a friend, I try to encourage him, but that's all I can do. He just doesn't have that determination to follow through with his goals or dreams. Man, it would suck to be 30 and not achieve anything for yourself.
