That's cool. What works for different people is different. I graduated college utterly sick of the BS the administration puts you through. I loved the classes, but was so tired of stupid class requirements and "I'm sorry, since you took this class, did all of the homework, passed all of the tests, got an A++, and forgot to fill out one box on one form, so you have to take it all again." So I left and went into the "real world". I'm now married, have gotten a "real" job, and quit my real job to start my own business. I have a mortgage and an IRA.
My sister, 1 year older than me, is terrified at the idea of getting out into the "real world". She's working on her master's degree, and making it take as long as possible. When she finishes, she'll make her doctorate take as long as possible. She's been dating her boyfriend for 2 years longer than I've known my husband, and not one word of marriage has been mentioned. She does have an IRA, but a mortgage is the last thing on her mind. In fact, she'd probably be a good match for you, but she's taken.
Anyway, conformism is not the way to get ahead. Don't worry about what everyone else wants. Worry about what's good for you.
