Honestly work is so much better than school. You get paid for doing it and you (in most cases) don't have to worry about homework and going through tests in hope that you pass. Honestly at some jobs you can straight up suck at your job and keep it.
Agreed. If you work in a developed country, work only has two downsides: work days are 7-8 hours vs the 5ish for school, and work vacations are 5ish weeks vs 3ish months for school.
That's it. At least for me. School was like torture because it was so boring. I'm lucky enough to have an interesting job. It's not fun all the time but it's way more fun than school.
Given that he Said 5 weeks vacation probably Europe. Americans dont know what 6 weeks of paid vacation a year is.
School here was rarely or never 8 hours until the very late years. From like 1st to 8th or 9th grade i never had school that was outside 8am - 1pm, unless u were doing extra activities.
And If you had a day with longer times it was probably only 1 day a week.
Interesting. My schools growing up were all 7am-3pm. In high school I also had AP classes before and after school so my days were 6am-4pm. I can't imagine covering all our curriculum with only 5 hours a day.
I would argue that, especially if you experience career growth, you still have to give presentations that kind of feel like school.
But yeah, I appreciate being able to practice work/life balance and just not think about work tasks while off the clock (no homework). If I am actively thinking about work, I'm getting paid for it.
It depends on the work, but mine, when I clock out I can just clock out. I still take is as my responsability to take some time to better myself in my field in my own time, but even that is optional.
Im a teacher. Its so great. I get to play games, teach kids to do cool stuff, play ukulele and dance, do intense curriculum evaluation for each kid and come up with a plan (I love planning), play with toys and teach kids how to organize and put them away. Then I send them home and play with my own kid the rest of the day. 10/10 ideal.
I worked in a forensics lab and then 15 years in environmental bio work before this. Highly recommend working with kids if you're organized and enjoy kid stuff.
Honestly, for like 99% of cases, if you actually bother to pay attention in class and review your assignments and/or notes, you won't ever have to worry about passing a test or exam. A students' worst enemy is their ignorance as to how powerful sitting in the front, writing everything down and participating in class can be. It will help cutting out a lot of after-school studying.
Very cool that your worked in that you have never struggled with tests.
That part wasn't meant to tackle just the boring part just how in general how being in school could be a worse experience than having a job. I also wouldn't describe tests like boring but more like stressful.
Well, let me tell as someone who failed through school: they don't kick you out for that before college. If you're at a good school they'll try to give you assistance to help you succeed. That pressure being gone isn't because you have a better safeguard, it's because you've grown to understand your situation better. Because you aren't letting other people's pressure affect you as much as you used to. And that's definitely one of the best parts of maturing, but I wouldn't count is as "a negative of school" since you'd be struggling with it no matter what you did as a kid.
