The print version of this Star Tribune article on The Quarterlife Crisis uses the by-line: “Low-paying jobs. No time for a social life. College debt. Lack of focus. Many 20-somethings never thought they’d have so much angst this early in life.” The article references the quarterlife crisis website, book, and newsletter.
I’ve not yet talked to my three unmarried 20-something sons about how much this quarterlife crisis applies to them. After going through the 16 SIGNS YOU’RE IN A QUARTERLIFE CRISIS checklist, I do see a few items that probably apply to one or more of them. I can’t see that much difference, though, from the soulsearching that moderately self-aware adults do at any age. I’ll do some homework and report back.
