I'm not sure I want to be classified as existing in a life-stage that can be defined by anything entitled "Knocked-Up". Weak ending on an otherwise interesting article. Nice Shout-Out for TFA, BTW.
So, is this Odyssey thing a good thing or not? That people are delaying the old-fashioned lifestyles? They make the point that Europe is "traveling this route ahead of us," but aren't most European nations suffering from population loss? And, now Teach for America is "flourishing" while churches are having troubles. I'm not against people getting a job after college instead of getting married, but this article seems to glorify it as the new goal.
Not sure if KT qualifies for an Odyssey, as its defined here (nor do I). I agree w/ Robert, that a crashing population in Europe (along w/ a soaring abortion rate) shouldn't be applauded. Or the Dating-Facebook-hookup part. But everything else seems on the mark, especially the job market bit. Good article! Mitzi's living on the edge, while both Robert and I work for The Man!!

Just call me Penelope.
Allow me to edit my comment: If I were in my Odyssey years, I wouldn't want them to be defined by a movie called "Knocked-Up".
hey, who says I work for the man? If so, the man had better pay me more...
Hmmm...is this like the "quarter life crisis"?
time for a new "looking forward to" on your page :)
