For me, the main reason I don't have a house is because I wouldn't have anyone to share it with; finding a partner outside of college while being employed in a field comprised of 97% men is impossible.
"finding a partner outside of college while being employed in a field comprised of 97% men is impossible."
What? How is that related? I (and most of readers here, I presume) also work in the same field, but I've never dated a girl who I've had any business with or who could write a single line of code. Just go out more often, get some hobbies, travel -- work is not your whole life. Unless you work in China sweatshop 16h/d, 6d/w work-life balance is achievable, it's mostly a mindset.
