For an LDS male, getting married early may affect some early career choices, but not by much, as the LDS male is the primary wage earner within our culture, so he has to work no matter what.

I think the biggest complaint I have heard seems to revolve around travel...."I wish I had traveled more before I got married."
35? What are you talking about Tonto? 25 is late for LDS culture. What's wrong with waiting until you're 28? Nothing! 28 is better than 23.
