I believe that college is no longer the rite of passage toward adulthood because it is not taken as seriously as it should be. College education is not the highlight of college years, it is the social life and freedom. Also, the financial set-backs push students back from settling down. Without students being able to deal with their financial obligations, they are unable to move on past young adulthood.
Arnet stated that it is a positive that students take this extra time to stay back after college and not settle down so soon. He states that they use this time for self-exploration to understand themselves. Carr on the other hand believes that it is more complex for certain young adults to move on. Young adults that have criminal history or those that are financially unstable find it more difficult to spend their time exploring themselves. they can't afford the time spent to explore various options when they have no money to support themselves. For the young adults with criminal history, they are unable to fins many job opportunities as easily as those with a clean record.
Arnet's argument that this delay in adulthood is a positive is fought against by Carr due to the consideration of the less fortunate and financially unstable. Not everyone benefits from this delay like Arnet states.
