Teen Boys and Girls Agree on What Is Most Important in Life
Briefly

A recent Pew Research Center survey of U.S. teens aged 13 to 17 reveals that the majority prioritize having an enjoyable job or career above other milestones such as marriage or children. Specifically, 86% emphasized the importance of career satisfaction, while only 36% valued marriage. The responses indicate little difference between genders, though girls expressed a stronger emphasis on close friendships. Similar findings were noted in a recent survey of adults, suggesting a consistent trend in valuing work satisfaction in both generations.
The survey results show a significant shift in priorities for today's teens, emphasizing the desire for enjoyable careers over traditional life milestones like marriage.
The findings confirm that 86 percent of teens prioritize having a job or career they enjoy, indicating a notable change in what young people value.
