Voting Question: 24 year old girlfriend with no goals?
I love my girlfriend. We have been together for over a year, but a problem has been coming up lately - she says she has no plans for the future.
I am going off to graduate school in New York City in the fall. I plan on being an art professor and studio artist belonging to a gallery in New York. I take it very seriously and I work very hard and those goals are within my reach.
She has an art degree but does not want to be either a studio artist or a professor and has no real plans for any kind of career (a stable career in art usually means teaching or working for a gallery, she doesn't want to do either). She works very hard at a decent job currently, pays around 11 an hour, but it has no room for advancement and is certainly not a career, although it is art related. She stresses out over it constantly and is a good employee, but to me, she should be stressing out over what she wants pursue as a career. She says she doesn't really care and that she would be fine spreading her focus around on different tasks the rest of her life. She says she has no ambition. Either in painting or in a specific career.
I am not worried about money. I mean I am going to be an artist, but setting goals and working hard to achieve them brings me real happiness knowing that I am fulfilling my potential. I am having a hard time comprehending how somebody could just float without trying to construct a future.
What do I do? How do I talk to her about it without her getting defensive? I love her and we are great together aside from this one difference. Am I being too hard or shallow on some level by criticizing how she wants to live her life? Is it normal/acceptable to not have a career in mind at 24?

Open Question: What is the problem with "Historicism"?
"The authors reject the modernist assumption that architecture has a relationship only with a specific place and time and argue that, after two hundred years of this “age of historicism,” architecture should be understood historically and in relation to a process of development through time."
Does the above quote imply that there is still change, but it is at least purposeful and ordered (emanating from a source, and continuing on), whereas historicism is random?
SO these are some definitions that might be helpful:
(From Wikipedia)
Historic -->Important to history
Historical -->Of/relating to history
Historicism -->Places importance on contextual interpretation, so it rejects immutable universals
Historicism (art) -->Styles which draw inspiration from historic works
