What were you doing at the age of 22?

Question

What is 22 supposed to be like what kind of job, car, relationship, were you living with your parents, out of school in school?

Answer 1

it really depends on situation. but most 22 year olds are still in college, it takes anywhere from 4-6 years (ideally) for most people to finish school. i'd say (out of the people i know) more than 50% are living with or with a LOT of help from their parents (ie dorm). most have a car. and damn, relationship really just depends on you. i'd say dating is best, 22 is still pretty young to know what the hell you want in a relationship and be able to keep a healthy one. and job, i'd say a decent part-time would be best for the meantime.

in case you want to know about myself, i'm 21. i still have a ways to go in school because i've been slacking off in a community college. but i'm living with my mom to save money while i still can. i have a car and full-time job (but nothing serious). and i have a boyfriend who lives with me (but that doesn't work for most people around my age...i'd say we're moving pretty fast because of our situation).

this is my point of view of myself, my friends (older and younger by 2-4 years)

Answer 2

I was out of college, at my first job in the IT field. I was living near a big city, in an apartment that was rather crappy, but was my own. I had a Ford Taurus, which wasn't flashy, but got me around. No relationships -- I was too busy trying to lay the groundwork to get into my dream job, game programming (which I still do today, at 31).

Not too much money in the bank back then. I also didn't have too many friends, being new to town, but I was soon to leave the area for the West Coast anyway.

All in all, kind of a transitional year, more about career than anything else.

Answer 3

When I was 22, I return to school to further study after working for 4 years...and with some help from parent.

Save up some money, bough a very little old car which couldn't start every morning..., working part time in a restaurant, living in a small room...

It was hard, but a great opportunities

Answer 4

Living in Springfield Missouri, trying not to find a job, going to school to be a disk jockey, bugging my parents for money all the time and chasing women.
Now 15 years later I live near Seattle Washington, spent 4 years in the army, I have a wonderful 13 year old daughter, two ex-wives and I have a great job as a computer aided drafter trying to get hired on at Boeing. It could be better but could be alot worse.

Answer 5

The current trend is for young adults to live at home with their parents much longer than they used to.

When I was 22 I had a 5 year old son and was engaged to the man I am currently married to. I had a 4 year college degree before I was 21, and had been living on my own since my 18th birthday.

It doesn't seem to be like that anymore.

This link talks about this trend in young people today.

Answer 6

At age 22, I was married with 2 children. I didn't work outside the home at that time. My husband was a long distance truck driver and was gone most of the time...so I was raising our 2 boys with help from other family members. Hubby helped some when he came home, but often he had to work on his truck to get it ready to leave again the next day.
We had very little money. We survived on hot dogs and macaroni and cheese, fried potatoes, navy beans and corn bread. After the boys got a little older, I started selling different products like cleansers and makeup and jewelry on the party plan out of my home. I had a high school diploma and a year and a half of college for education.
I now am an RN working as charge nurse in a nursing home. AFter my babies grew up and moved out, I went back to school and finished my education. You are never too old to learn and improve yourself.

Answer 7

By the time I was 22 I was not living with my parents. I have given birth to 2 wonderful boys, while I was 5 months pregnant with my second one I had to make funeral arrangements for my first born. I would not wish that on my worst enemy. I was a waitress at a diner that the father of my boys owned. The relationship ended 8 months after we lost our first born . I was out of school and had my GED at 17.

Answer 8

what I can do to deal with this demon? Okay,1st, you are not crazy or a bad/evil person. A lot of psychics/ people in general tend to have these experiences before they realize when you open the spiritual door, the person on the other side will not automatically be good (any more than it would be if you opened your regular front door). If you do this, just set your intent and words to specify, to connect only those from God. 2nd, most any purification rituals (sea salt, white light, invoke God's protection) will work, because it is your intent that makes it work, not the details of the ritual. Meditation, scrying, tarot are just tools - nothing evil in them - just like a hammer can build a home or smack someone in the head. I would recommend the Shamanistic practice of smudging for you, because it can clear a large space. But, plan on doing this on an ongoing basis - just because you push it away once does not automatically keep it away forever ( for various reasons too complex to list here). You can (and should) ask God to remove this evil from you forever as part of your ritual. 3rd, you need to deal with why you went looking in the first place. Remember to connect with those who are here, with the living. Find your love, connection and relationship with those available to you while looking for a reliable psychic medium to deal with those who have crossed over. 4th, to answer your question: Demons and Angels - real, Afterlife and Ghosts - real. Reincarnation - real. Ouija boards - real, and bad news - no reputable psychic I know uses them. They focus energy and spirit differently than tarot, etc. Best wishes.

Answer 9

I was helping run a coffee shop, landscaping on the side (my own business), living 3 states away from my parents, running the river and rock climbing in free time, driving a ford fairmont, not in a relationship (because you shouldn't be at that age while you re figuring out who you are) and of course -experimenting with all that the big wide world has to offer.....

Answer 10

Done with school. Living with some buddies. Worked as a manager at a record store. Drinking and going out everyday. Was driving a car that was way too expensive for me at the time.

You still have a few more years to grow up....but don't wait to long.
