As someone who is going to have to get a job in 2-3 years, I’m dreading the day. Going to the same place 5 days a week coming home with no time and energy left for anything you actually like and doing this for FOURTY years or even more if you were unlucky, sounds HORRIBLE!! How could anyone actually like working?
Yeah, YMMV, I guess. When I was in school I took it deadly serious. It definitely took energy, and it definitely was 5 days a week.
I understand how it can be miserable, especially if one has been raised in an environment where marks and discipline.
