IMO this is where most people go wrong.
Too many people settle for shinguard jobs that they will be doing for way too long. Then they get married, and raise a family so the crap job isn't on their mind as much and things are ok. They're happy about their families so work feels like it's worthwhile.
Eventually the wifey will fail to consistantly satisfy, your kids will give you shinguard and home will no longer be the safe haven it once was. At this point you remember how crap job is and have what is commonly referred to as a mid life crises.
Once you have a family, it is too difficult to focus on yourself. Because of this, many people do not fulfill their personal goals and it comes back to bite them after years and years of the same crap.
Personally, I am determined to get myself into a position in life and a job that I will enjoy doing for the next 30-40 years before I even think about raising a family and getting trapped.
Do not let your family be the only thing you really have to live for.
