Either that or they have very limited side interests and are virtual robots.
Conservatives often regard successful people as those who have achieved company goals or have done financially well.
Well I got news for you, those who met this benchmark do not seem to have time to think of anything but career career career, and then a few rounds of golf, and then visiting friends.
Lets compare that to a 20 year-old Liberal college kid's hobbies.
"Punk shows, wild road trips, protest marches, inventing new things, filming documentaries on youtube, soccer, wii, scavenger hunts, backpacking, Europe, late night pizza, slumber parties,
or for the introverts "scupltping, poetry, song-writing."
This is what bothers me about the real corporate world.
1) After you pass 3 years experience, your demands force you to compromise everything you do for your career, leaving nothing but golf and visiting friends.
2) If you try to be slick and keep your old hobbies, your oddness will run off onto what you do and by not fitting the corporate environment, you'll be laid off pretty quickly.
Why not change this by making hobbies important not just for kids?
work may not be the only factor. There's also marriage and raising children which alters lifestyle demands
