students have it hard!

Students have it hard! And that's the truth! I hate people who work, probably never went to school, and claim how easy students have it! We have to worry about student loans, part-time work, making the grade, fitting-in, future careers! It is not easy! Not that working folks don't have it hard... but it's nicer for them, because they are stable!

I have worked full time and I have been in school full time. Have to admit it, but I do think school is easier. I can schedule my school to how I want it, I can have the freedom to do what I want and I can discuss and challenge things when I want. For work, I would go 8-5 with the same mindless duties over and over and over.

Ya imelting is right, if you haven't been out in the world yet, you will never realize it but school life is pretty easy as long as you know how to balance things out...other than exams I hate exams...

I prefer school over work on any given day. I pretty much hate work. I never had to get up at 5:30 am every single friggin day when I had school.

I hate waking up so early in the mornings, I hate having to hand in assignments at late night hours and I really really hate the food they have up here

I've worked full time and done school full time and I think that school is waaaaaaaay tougher. When you work, you get all your evenings and weekends free to do whatever you want. Once you leave the office, you leave work. But with school, it's always there bugging you, you never get a break, there's always more work that needs to be done. And if you aren't studying you feel guilty because you know you should be.
Then there is the lost opportunity costs...all the money you aren't making by doing school, and all the nice things your working friends have that you don't...
I guess it comes down to how seriously you take your school. Some people think university is all fun, but for others who are working extremely hard to get into grad school etc, then it's tough.

Counterbalancing homework and such, is the fact that if you do your schedule right you'll have classes at 12:30 PM and you can sleep in. :tongue:

deopends on what kinda job you have though. in the summer when i actually take work seriously (it's when i make the most $$) leaving work does not equal free time. there's still tonnes of 'projects' i guess you can call it. or homework for work.
not to mention the weekly meetings i used to have.

now that i'm a total slacker at work, it's all gravy.
