Student - 

Still reliant on someone else for everyday needs like food, gas, or rent. You are figuring out the type of man you want to become before taking on a lot of responsibility.

Young Adult - 

You are just starting in your career and beginning to focus on the future instead of what's right in front of you. Have a desire for the privileges of adulthood but don't yet have the responsibility associated with it.

Adult-

Prioritize taking ownership of your life and others you have chosen to commit to. You focus on hard things like keeping a job, paying bills, and contributing to society. Takes responsibility rather than makes excuses and focuses on contributing more than consuming.

Mentor - 

You've consistently embraced responsibility, prioritized pouring into others, and are focused on multiplying yourself for the good of others and society.

Patriarch - 

You are in the final stages of a man's life, where you can leverage the years you put in and invest in future generations. People look up to you, and young men want to learn from you.
