question 79

Essay

age twenty, Sarah is working as a checkout clerk in a grocery store, having left school after high school. She didn't do particularly well in school and had a hard time learning how to run the cash register, but she is a cheerful person, outgoing and friendly, and a reliable worker. She doesn't have a steady boyfriend, but she dates quite a lot and is looking forward to getting married and settling down-although she guesses that she will probably have to work after she is married. Given everything you know about adult development, what predictions would you make about Sarah's adult life? Back up your predictions with research evidence or theory wherever you can.
