Most were girls wed to adult men an average of four years older.Ĭhild marriage – or marriage before age 18 – is dangerous. A few were as young as 10, though nearly all were age 16 or 17. Nearly 300,000 minors, under age 18, were legally married in the U.S. The United States has a child marriage problem – but a simple solution is available. However you can and in whatever way is appropriate for your field, just do it.Īnd don’t demean someone else’s educational journey just because theirs is different than yours.Also see our article in the Journal of Adolescent Health! VIEW AS PDF Summary When it comes to education, obtaining skills, or whatever you want to call it, just do it. There is plenty to write about post-secondary education, but that’s a post, no a long form article, for another day. Experiential learning is good! Post-secondary education is good! I can tell you this with authority because I have both and both have been incredibly impactful in my career. The truth is that BOTH are the big carrot. To that point, images such as this serve to illustrate the concept that obtaining skills through experience is good and valuable, but a college degree is nothing but a fancy and expensive piece of paper. The most important thing to know right now about false choice, other than the concept, is it is used purposefully by those who desire power to divide us in an effort to rally us behind them against their opponents and those who think differently. In current US culture, replace Coke and Pepsi with political parties, philosophies, celebrities, social issues, etc. Additionally, if you love Coke, that means you hate Pepsi. This is a logical fallacy that falsely represents a set of choices, and is often seen as a binary choice. One of the things that is rampantly damaging in our world is false choice, also known as false dichotomy or false dilemma. I especially love Weber State University, Davis Technical College, and (of course) Utah Lean Six Sigma Training Center. I also enthusiastically support all higher education, whether through universities, technical college, or professional certification programs. There is massive value to be found through experiential acquisition of job and life skills. These thoughts and a buck fifty will get you a frosty beverage at the local c-store, so take it for what it’s worth. I’ve seen this image a few times from various people over the last few days and have some thoughts. Mind blown! Thanks for teaching me amazing things Adwait!!! I'm wondering if it is because Adwait has approached it with a growth mindset, perhaps similar to how he approaches his work. Many people are not prepared to adapt, so they fail.īy the way, Adwait is in a "for love" marriage that's apparently aging well. So, when things aren't perfect, they have to make the decision whether to adapt or not. They may not have the same growth mindset. They know they will have to adapt to each other's differences so they can fall in love and enjoy a lifelong relationship! Compare this to couples looking for that perfect someone, who is their perfect match, who turns out to be. But consider what I learned from my friend and colleague Adwait Udgaonkar: couples entering an arranged marriage must have an "adapt" (growth) mindset from the start. I'm sure having the in-laws on the same page from the start is helpful. Today I learned that the divorce rate for couples in arranged marriages is massively lower than for couples who chose their own spouse "for love." Why is that? For me, the concept of arranged marriages has always seemed backwards.
