I'm 29 going on 30. I think I've been having a quarter life crisis since I was 23. I think my problem is having too much, rather than too little, passion. I have three degrees in three vastly different subject areas and my passion for journalism coincided with the fall of the newspaper industry. I have found a government job that offers the security my parents and their generation strived for, yet all I want to do is get one of those elusive jobs that allows for you to run around the globe making an impact, changing the world so to speak. I know many twenty somethings like myself who feel stuck and dissastified.
