Education Decision to join the workforce or go to University Life is expensive, we have all watched our parents struggle to make ends meet, joining the workforce means that we can begin earning and spending money. Life offers too many temptations, gadgets, cars, clothes, the temptation is overpowering and can influence the need to quit education. Graduating can have less value than it used to, we can see this in place like South Korea. At this time most companies want a University education. The Dating Game Dating is complicated, people often find a partner at University. Meeting a professional means a more secure future, The dating game for many means dating Apps. Dating is complicated in 2018 People only think of today, not the future. The concept of chivalry completely outdated. Finding a soulmate is next to impossible.
Moving out of the family home often means finding a place to rent.
Renting on campus is expensive, most people get a few friends together and get an apartment to rent. These are considered to be the most prime years where we meet lifelong friends and enjoy the many parties on offer Students must now consider living at home and commuting to University, it’s more economical. Parties are overrated and something we only see in the movies. Students have to find jobs and study to support themselves. Working and studying often is considered a balance however some students just prefer to study.
Marriage The cycle of life normally involves committing to a partner by way of a piece of paper that legalises the bond between two people. People often delay the action of getting married in favour of a profession or career development. Marriage has less value in modern society compared to a generation ago. A piece of paper is more important if you have children. Weddings are an unnecessary cost that could be put to better use. Weddings unite the two sides of the both the bride and grooms family.
House The concept of buying a house is dated, most people believe that renting is more flexible. New couples value being close to work so that they have more free time. Buying a house is the ultimate commitment and not something that the younger generation want to have. Job security is an consideration.
