TED Talk: Psychologist Meg Jay Says Your 20s Aren't Throwaway Years

Clinical psychologist Meg Jay has a bold message for 20-somethings: Contrary to popular belief, your 20s are not a throwaway decade. Some money quotes from her talk are:

"What happens when you pat a 20-something on the head and you say you have ten extra years to start your life? Nothing happens. You have robbed the person of his urgency and ambition and then absolutely nothing happens."

"Forget having an identity crisis and get some identity capital.  I mean do something that adds value to who you are. Do something that's an investment into who you might wanna be next. Explore work and make it count."

"The best time to work on your marriage is before you have one, and that means being as intentional with love as you are with work."
