I am 20 and already have my A.A. I am going to a top private university and studying to be a teacher. School is very important to me and nothing will stand in my way of getting a B.A. and teaching credential ASAP so I can have a good career.
My boyfriend is the opposite. He is 22, has no job, sleeps til noon, lives with his parents, and doesn't go to school. He plans on going to a university next year, but right now running track for the local community college is his top priority, (he's only taking a couple classes just so he can run track) instead of obtaining an A.A.
He trains several hours a day for track, hoping to be picked up by some college, so he is motivated with that but I believe in going to school the old-fashioned way and earning your place at a college.
He works hard in track, where he is a star athlete, and works hard helping his sister with her business. He always tells me his dreams of owning a successful business and making lots of money like his sister, but he doesn't seem to understand that he needs to work for it and that striking it rich isn't exactly realistic.
He reluctantly tells me his plan is to major in kinesiology and become a track coach or something, and tells me that he's rather die than have a 9-5 office job.
I know one day his parents and himself will give him a kick in the ass to start taking control of his life, but in the meantime I am worried for him and for us. We are talking about getting married in 2 or 3 years, and I want to marry a man not a boy.
Is laziness and a "mid-life crisis" normal for guys his age? Are most young guys just naturally lazy day-dreamers, but snap out of it later?
