I suppose this is one benefit of having kids young: you can go straight from school into a purposeful life without the intervening anxiety and dread that a lot of people experience. I was one year out of grad school (age 24) when my son was born. My peers are just now having their kids 10 years later, but I definitely don't regret it.
