Are you serious?
Kids, family, car and house payments, student loan debt, insurance payments (if you're lucky and don't get denied coverage), the fact that if you lose your job due to the economy you could be royally screwed for years, you have to manage your investments, 401K, IRAs, you have to find someone you trust with your money to invest it for you even though you're still somewhat managing it yourself, if you screw up at work you could get fired and lose your health insurance, you are the sole person responsible for everything you choose to do, there is no simple path from A to B to follow anymore, no one to bail you out of a tough situation, etc.
Not to mention the fact that the average American works something like 50 hours a week. Enjoy trying to have any hobbies when you're working 50 hours and commuting 5 per week.
I doubled majored in abstract math and Japanese and then went to law school after that. Real life is so much harder than any of that, and I don't even have kids yet!
