Um, yeah, that's how I used to think, too. Nothing could've been further from the truth. I think I'm through--or almost through--my QLC now. Mine involved moving out to a completely unfamiliar area on my own, without a job (not the smartest idea I ever had); working terrible Legal Assistant jobs for 2 years, while still convincing myself I wanted to be a lawyer; and starting law school, only to have to go on medical leave 3 months later. I then tried to start my own handmade jewelry business, which failed because I'm great at the jewelry but not so much at the business. ;) I wound up moving back in with my parents for 6 months, which was both good and disastrous in many ways, and then finally finding a job that was actually a good fit for me (read: one with a boss who didn't yell at me). Whew. Glad that's over. Now I just have to plan a wedding and buy a home... “I used to think that once I got out of college and landed a job, that things would fall into place and I’d automatically enter a world of Cosmopolitans, career stability, and chi-chi apartments, but it seems like adulthood has just stirred up more confusion.”

Well, except for STILL being in graduate school and feeling like I'm making no financial headway (no home or 401K for me) and not knowing what to do with my life... My dad tells me it's a good problem to have, but I'm still convinced... I’m 27 and I *think* I’ve worked through most of my Quarter Life Crisis stuff.
