Quarterlifecrisis.com is a community for twentysomethings and companion site to the book Quarterlife Crisis: the Unique Challenges of Life in Your Twenties. At quarterlifecrisis.com, you can take surveys as part of research on twentysomethings, and connect with others in your situation through message boards.

The folks at Quarterlife Crisis ask: "Having trouble adjusting to the 'real world' after twentysomething years in school? You are NOT alone. Surprisingly, this often traumatic transition has NEVER been studied before. But it is real, and it can often be scary. People often find that school has not prepared them to face the challenges of the 'real world.' There are career options, financial responsibilities, and social adjustments we never even considered in the sheltered environment of college campuses."

This site for quarterlifers features Life, Work, and Play sections.

Life offers resources about such things are apartments and finances.

Work has a job-search engine through Careerbuilders.

Play links to dating, travel, and entertainment sites.

The site also offers surveys to fill out and message boards, with the opportunity to sign up for quarterlife support groups.
