Answer to Question #201777 in Psychology for Innocencia

Question

Thomas stumbled his way through high school and graduated last year (but just 

barely). He still doesn't know what he wants to do with his life. In fact, he hasn't 

really given much thought at all to what he'd like to accomplish. He hasn't applied 

to any colleges or technical schools. He still works part-time at a restaurant; a job 

he started while in high school so that he could have a little extra spending money. 

He doesn't earn enough money to live on his own so he lives with his parents, but 

he doesn't pay them any rent or even pay for his own groceries. Nonetheless, he 

hasn't even considered applying for a better paying, full-time job. Whenever his 

frustrated mother asks, "What are you doing with your life?" he just mutters, "I 

don’t know." Thomas hasn't even considered this question, and has no goals or 

plans of any sort.
