Some advice that's stuck with me, "In your 20's you should try everything you can, in your 30's you should focus on what you like best, and in your 40's figure out how to make money doing it."
- randallsquared 17y agoThis advice is best if you plan not to have children. I believe it's well understood now that the best time to have kids (for the health and development of the children) is when you're young, since autism and other problems have much higher risk when the parents are older. Unfortunately, knowing this won't help me now, since I'm in my later 30s already. :)
- Chocobean 17y agocorrect me if I'm wrong but the age of the father matters much less to the developing fetus than the age of mother, no? I guess I am also assuming you are of the male gender.
- randallsquared 17y agoIt probably matters less, but it matters for risk of birth defects: http://articles.latimes.com/2001/jul/23/health/he-25555 http://articles.latimes.com/2001/jul/23/health/he-25555 and http://www.webmd.com/infertility-and-reproduction/news/20030701/dad-age-down-syndrome http://www.webmd.com/infertility-and-reproduction/news/20030... and others you can google for.
