Not going to lie- When I started to read this survey, I was expecting the responses from teenagers to be a bit different when they were asked “what is the most important thing in life”. When asked what they wanted most in their adult lives, teens listed a job they enjoy first.
In the survey, only 36 percent of teens responded that getting married was important. Personally, I thought that and having kids would have been higher!
Percentage of teens who found each of the following to be very important or extremely important:
86: Having a job or career they enjoy
69: Having close friends
58: Having a lot of money
36: Getting married
30: Having children
6: Becoming famous
Percentage of adults who found each of the following important to living a fulfilling life:
71: Having a job or career they enjoy
61: Having close friends
26: Having children
24: Having a lot of money
23: Being married
A recent similar survey of adults found similar results.
