I'm 42 years old and I finally got it in my head that what I am doing is not what I want to do for the rest of my life.  After a ton of soul searching, I finally realized that what I'm really passionate about is to understand the human condition.

So I decided to go back to school and start all over again at the age of 42. I'm still working of course, but I'm going back to get my psychology degree.

I find it interesting that we somehow expect our kids to know what they want to do in their careers right out of high school when I'm just now understanding what I am passionate about.

Anybody else reaching this point in their life?

Is this the mid life crisis?

Or am I finally on the right path?

I just herd for the first time about " The Entitled" generation. Come to find out that these are our kids and no matter what parent I talk to, they all appear to think the same way. I read an article that gave an example of a 15 year old girl and a 31 year old man. Same Gen. See article below from the Post or something like that.

The New "Me" Generation

The crop of talented recent graduates coming into today's workforce is widely seen as narcissistic and entitled. And those are their best qualities.

15 Year old girl = The prospect of working at a Fortune 500 company - and landing the sort of well-paying job that Americans once regarded as the benchmark of success - holds zero allure for her.

She would be far happier running her own company. "I have the time, I have the brains, I have the patience to do it, and I am not going to give up if I fail once," she vows.

31 year old = As he puts it, "I have no problem knocking on the door and walking into the CEO's office or the CTO's office on a whim - interrupting their schedule - and saying, 'I need to talk to you.'" He says that ever since he was a kid, he has been "knocking heads with basketball teachers, track coaches, teachers, and girlfriends. If I felt that I was right, I wouldn't back down."

Virtually everyone born after 1970 = these young people were

1. raised on a daily regimen of praise and flattery from their baby boomer parents and
2. from teachers who embraced a self-esteem-boosting curriculum that included activities like the Magic Circle game.
   1. Never heard of it? In this game, one child a day is given a badge that says "I'm great." The other children then take turns praising the "great" child, and eventually these compliments are written up and given to the child for posterity.
3. This constant reinforcement, is largely responsible for those young co-workers who drive you nuts.

At the University of South Alabama, psychology professor Joshua has given a Narcissism personality test to a range of demographic groups around the world, and no group has scored higher than the American teenager.

Narcissism also appears to be reaching new highs, even within the Entitlement Generation, among American college students.

The concept of narcissism is an ancient idea that dates to Greek mythology. According to legend, Narcissus was a beautiful Grecian youth who fell madly in love with his own reflection in a pool of water. Unable to avert his eyes from the image of his own face, Narcissus knelt too close to the water, fell in, and drowned.
