What Is It About 20-Somethings?

The NYT wrote a somewhat ominous article about our generation. Here is a teaser:
They move back in with their parents. They delay beginning careers. Why are so many young people taking so long to grow up?
Here's another quick synoposis from Eric:
It's all about young people, particularly those recently graduating from college (with a special emphasis on those who move back in with their parents), and whether this constitutes a new life stage. The author compares it to the early 1900s, when sociologists developed the first concept of a "teenager" and how this age group had different needs than younger kids.
