As an employer, I do think young adults run the risk of having unaccounted for years in their job applications.  I have spent the last 15 years working in the financial services industry, and we have found that our best "entry level" employees come to us within a few years of obtaining their college degree.  This can, unfortunately, lead to a reverse-age discrimination where applicants in their late 20's looking for "entry-level" office jobs can be less likely to be hired when compared with recent graduates.
