Recommendation

Your 20s are a time of adventure and a time of preparation. Family and career obligations tend to be minimal, so you have space to explore and make mistakes. At the same time, you have exceptional opportunities to steer your life in the direction you’d like it to go. You will form habits that last a lifetime. Name a field, and millennials and generation Zers like you are probably redefining it. Seasoned journalist Elizabeth Segran offers personal anecdotes and statistics as she walks readers of all ages through some of the common choices you make in your formative years. 

Take-Aways

  • Your 20s offer leeway to experiment and prepare for later success.
  • As the largest generations in the workforce, millennials and generation Z are revolutionizing society’s approach to work.
  • In your 20s, pursue passion-driven hobbies you can enjoy for years to come.
