“We are caught between the desire to have a job that puts you in a higher social standing — one that allows for luxuries like brunch on Sundays and a nice apartment in which to invite over friends — and the kind of job that makes you happy and leaves you time for a life outside of work. It’s certainly a heavy disappointment to find that these two things are so often mutually exclusive, but the choice might still be easy to make if society weren’t constantly telling us that there is a right one. You are, whether or not its vocalized in such cold terms, expected to make a certain amount and have certain things. One day you should want a home, a spouse, a child, a dog — and we’re not sure that you want any of those things.”

— Chelsea Fagan, What It Means To Be Young
