Curious how many others on fishbowl married in their early 20s? How lasting are marriages earlier in life versus later (30s) for those in consulting?

Married at 23 still married 11 years later. I think the key is to find someone that understands your career and supports and that you do the same for them. We also try to use the job to our advantage like having my wife travel out on the weekends whenever possible.

I waited until my 30s to get married. I'm super happy now with two kids. Consulting work can be intense with crazy travel and super long hours. A ton of career opportunities feel in my lap in my 20s bc I didn't have a family including big projects in Australia, France and Turkey.

Live a little and get your profession down before marriage. I married at 27 3/4 to another professional, very happy 2 kids (which make it tough, kids come first BTW) and since we both know what we want it works great

I married to my husband at age 23, when he was 22. Now I'm about 32, he is about 31, we had a 16 month old son, and plan to have another one next year or so. Who told you that marriage at early age won't last long? Oh, btw, my husband and I've been dating for two years before we get married.

Married at 24 and still happily going. Husband supports my career path and my schedule, he supports whatever I decide to do really.

Married at 22 and couldn't be happier. With my busy season schedule and him being gone a couple days a week on average for his job (plus he is an Air Force reservist so he is gone some weekends) it's a bit tough to get through but he is very supportive and helpful during busy season and I am understanding of his schedule and toughen up if he's gone during busy season. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Married at 28 been almost a year. Much better after married because she gets to see me everyday now and I can just work at home at night if needed so not as bad during busy season.

I am a clinical research coordinator working in Austin, Texas. I have my Masters in Cell & Molecular Biology and have a year of laboratory research experience.

I’ve been in my position for 5 months now. I make $27 hourly which amounts to about $51,000 yearly. Am I being under paid? Are all coordinator positions hourly? As a laboratory researcher I was salary :(

How do I go about asking for a raise or should I explore other companies or medical schools that have clinical research?
