You college kids have no idea how good you guys have it. The long breaks are one of the many things I miss about college. I went from 4 months off every year during college (went you include holidays and breaks) to 3 weeks off in the working world.
I remember when I first got to college people always told me that those were the best years of your life and now I see why.
I'm a junior in college, and I'm really trying to figure out what people mean when they say these are the best years of my life. I wake up at 7am every day, go to class/work/ and study all the way until 10 at night. In the summers, I'm working a job 30-40 hours a week. In the "real world", I'm looking at 1 job, weekends completely off, and no homework or studying to do when I get home. I know I'm probably over simplifying things, but can one of you grown folks explain how much more work the real world is? Don't get me wrong, I love college, and I'm having a great time, but this is not the cakewalk people make it out to be (probably because I'm an engineering major with a job)
