20 years is said to be the phase of life that lays the foundation for the future. This is the time when most girls have just graduated from college and begin to better understand themselves and the world around them. We take children's steps in the corporate world and explore what life can offer us.
But we live in a society where part of it still believes that 20 years is the “ideal” time for a woman to tie the knot. But before anyone succumbs to this pressure, here are a few reasons why focusing on your career at this stage in your life can do more good than marriage.
Your career will never leave you
No one knows what awaits us in the future. If your relationship goes awry or something does not work out, you will always be a woman who can take care of her needs, does not depend on anyone if you have a stable career. Your partner may not support you, your parents may not be with you, and your friends may not always give you a helping hand, and your career will help you survive and live on your own terms.
This is a time when you can explore the areas that interest you and take risks. You do not bear the financial burden and responsibility for the well-being of another person and family. You can use this time to find out exactly what you want to do in life, and calm down as soon as you are professionally stable.
Professional growth, career success and increase in income are two completely different things. One often does not coincide with the other. Each of you will be able to recall the situation when the boss was not a completely professional person.
So sometimes you have to choose: either grow professionally, or make good money. The combination of your favorite business and a good income is probably faster than working for money.
Financial stability
No matter how well your partner earns or how rich your family is, every woman should be financially independent. Do we really need to explain why? In addition, you will learn to manage your finances, have a sense of security, understand what you need to do to get the amount credited to your account every month, and how to be your own hero at the end of the day. After marriage, you will contribute to the family and not be dependent on others.
You better understand the world
The professional world makes you meet new people, understand and learn from their experience, and increases your level of knowledge and skills. Not only that, you can also observe not very good sides, such as office politics, work pressure and strict deadlines, and so you start to look at things through your own lens. 20 years is the time when you develop your own point of view and personality. When you finally decide to settle down, you know that you are doing this for the right reasons.
Your future partner will respect you
Instead of judging you for your age or character, a liberal and educated guy will always respect you for your professional achievements and who you are. If someone condemns you for your choice or even shows a hint of uncertainty because of your career growth, you know that he is not the one you need.
Whenever you are ready to take a decisive step, make sure that you have a conversation about your professional dreams and aspirations with your partner. If you want to continue to work, start your own business or want to be a remote employee, freelancer, it is important that you live on your own terms after marriage.
If you are dating someone at age 20, this is the perfect time to understand him better and see if he is your only one.
