How are there so many people in here saying work is better than college? I have a feeling alot of yall did college wrong



I had to pay for everything on my own in college so on top of studying, going to nursing school, clinicals, etc.....I still had to work and not make that much and stress over how bills were gonna be paid.


Out of nursing school I have a job right away. I have more money to spend. I have more free time now. No more studying and stressing over exams and being broke all the time.

If you are an adult out of college for awhile and you are still pining away for your college days....you are doing life wrong.

This. My parents help me out a small amount, but I still have rent, electricity, internet/cable, gas, food, anything I need (shoes, clothes, etc.).
My major isn't super demanding, but I am the type that has to study. I graduate next month, but my class to graduate requires me to work a job where I am unpaid. I work there as much as I work my paid job, so it's like having two jobs plus school.

I don't plan to do anything crazy demanding that requires copious amounts of stress that I bring home, so just that in itself is better than getting home from work and having tons of homework.

I also am constantly broke.
