How would you maximize the benefits of the life stage between adolescence and adulthood that sociologists refer to as "delayed adulthood"?
What will be an ideal response?
Students' answers will vary, but could touch upon using "delayed adulthood" as an opportunity to maximize skills that could make them more marketable. This might involve gaining additional computer skills, getting an internship, or joining a language immersion program to learn a second language. Delayed adulthood could also be fun as well, with time to expand circles of friends and social opportunities. Traveling to broaden outlooks and experience would also be an opportunity gained from delaying full-time employment and the taking on of adult responsibilities.
