What is best?
I read on a student forum that many people there were worried about going into full time work and were getting really upset about it and thinking how they will have no free time and can't imagine doing the 37.5 hour week.
IIRC only 2/3 of students in the UK work while at Uni/college (term time that is) and those that do only average at 14 hrs a week.
But while I worked at Uni I was full time for most of it. I didn't have much free time with studies but before I worked at Uni I had too much free time.
Now I'm just working at full time and I think I have tons of time on my hands. For example the other night I got back from work and watched Beverly Hill Cops, and that was nice.
It's much better working than being a student IMO, cause work gives your day some structure (even if I'm still in fast food and not a professional job so I get messed up shifts). Plus once you've done your shift that's you and you don't take work home with you.
Unless I become a cop, then I will become obsessed with work and lose my family over it and keep those regrets for the rest of my life. But to cope with it I just bury my head in more work and alcohol and be the maverick that gets caught up in the gritty underworld. But I will develop some catchphrases and quirky mannerisms and go on all sorts of misadventures that make for good entertainment.
Thoughts?
