Yes! I had a choice as a 17 year old to go to a liberal arts school for a “full education” or to a great state school that was considered a “job factory”. I went with the latter because I wanted to be a reliable, working family man like Michael
Thirtysomething was 14-year-old me’s favorite, which is weird to think about now, but man I wanted to be them. I majored in advertising because of those guys, and my first internship at an ad agency was so perfectly thirtysomething I could hear the music in my head. I don’t remember “adults don’t know what they’re doing” being a theme I picked up on then, but that’s a thing I’ve been repeating to my daughter since she was little, as a comfort and not a warning. I wish I’d learned it much sooner than I did.
