It's true, with the job market in the toilet for the last decade, a public school system that encourages all its students to go to college, and a student loan industry that has allied with the federal government to drive up tuition and milk students and their families for all they're worth (to say nothing of predatory credit card lending), and with the resulting massive debt young people take on in starting their lives these days unparalleled in US history, yes people are tending to put off things like marriage, children, etc. Don't let that stop you from publishing a ridiculous and haughty article about 'kids these days' though, New York Times. I'd expect nothing less.
I was lucky enough to avoid the worst of most of this stuff, but I'm not about to use that luck as a rhetorical device against my peers, some of whom made decisions that certainly would have seemed correct to anyone at the time, or who were simply misled by overzealous school counselors, or whatever. Just sayin'.
