2) already a wife and mother
actually I could just copy Jezreel's comment

But I wanted to say, perhaps (I remember from my own teen years) the reason tha most people don't know what they want until they are mid 20's is that they spent the last 8 years (4years shelling out $$$$ for the "privilige") being brainwashed er... rather, I mean, "completeing their education" and they simply didn't have the time or energy to think their own thoughts. because they had to cram info into their brains long enough to be able to regurgitate it onto the appropriate page. (as you may be able to tell grammar was my "favorite" subject

But that said, I've been having my DD15 write down her goals for 10 years out, then think backwards what has to be done in 5 yrs, 2.5yrs, 15months, 7 months, 3 months from now in order to reach that 10 year goal.
Looking forward to hearing more ideas on goal setting/preparing for your futures.

First up, your link to this post from #3 is broken. I had to use the sidebar to nav here.

Everybody's Free is an awesome song. I have a copy somewhere around here; humour is required to get through just about everything. :)

We can't decide what to do with ourselves and we don't know how to begin. People (our parents) tell us "Do something!" and leave it at that. Where do we start? What if we can't live up to that? Should we try at all? Or should we just do what feels good now and pretend we are living and suceeding in our lives?

You might be right about our failure to move being a direct result of not moving forward as teenagers. I don't know. When I was 15, I was dating a 22 year old. At 17, I had a ring on my finger. At 18, I almost married him but decided I was sick of being abused and brainwashed. I missed out on most of the typical teenager stuff all my friends were doing at the time.

Onto the questions...

1) I have attended our local college for several years. I have completed enough units that if they fit together, I could recieve three associates degrees. The problem? I've failed my math requirement four times now.

2) I have no idea. That seems to be the problem.

3) Intelligence, patience, creativity, outgoingness... in a man.

1. No college in my plans at this point. For myself, I don't see any reason for it. My answer to number 2 is I just want to get married and have a family. College right now seems more like a waste of money to go learn stuff I'll never use. It isn't ruled out though.

3. XY chromesomes, chasing after God kind of Christian, curiousity (WHY do we do that/think that way? as just one example), outgoing, adventurous, passionate, confident, humble...

While waiting for the 'perfect' guy to come along, I want to get myself out of the Peter Pan part of life. I'm 19 almost 20, still live at home, but I have a job, pay rent and gas and pay for whatever else I want...like if I need new clothes or something. I'm hoping to move out in a year...I guess I got the city bug, but I want to live in the dodgy part of town and do volunteer work with homeless people. Realizing that this time of no big commitments is a gift from God, and hoping that it will only come once, I want to make the most of it. And I want to be ready when the time comes to marry and have kids.

1. I started college right after high school and was finished by age 22.

However, now I am 24 and trying to get into law school, if I start this September I will be done by age 27.

2. By age 27, I seek to begin my legal career as a criminal prosecutor, or if that doesn't work out, I desire to work in human rights and immigration law.

I would like to one day go into politics and run as a socialist.

3. Characteristics in a wife?
-Christian, family orientated, romantic, MATURE, caring, easy to chat with.
