What's the biggest misconception adolescents have regarding adulthood?
That they've reached it.

My definition of "a lot of money."
I remember making $8.50/hr plus overtime working part time while going to school and living very well. I paid my credit card off every month, had money to do whatever I wanted. As a matter of fact, I never had to worry about money until my wife moved in.

I guarantee most kids first job graduating college is much less than they were expecting obviously there will be exceptions, especially in O&G
More than likely kids that have never worked in their life or had an internship in their field.

I thought I would be buying everything name brand, getting the nicest stuff, etc. Then I realized all the bills I have to pay and I'm more worried about filling my 401k than buying a jetski or something ridiculous like that.
As a kid you underestimate the impact of having to pay all the essentials: rent/mortgage, power, water, telephone, cable, car note, and food. All that stuff your parents paid for. You think you can be rich on $40,000 per year. Think again broseph.

That they are immediately entitled to a similar standard of living that their parents worked a few decades to achieve?

That they've been running through a maze designed for the benefit of the maze creators, not the maze runners. And while that maze can have positive outcomes for you, you need to poke around and see if you're better off making your own path.

that adults know what they are talking about most of the time
I thought as a kid that all this knowledge just comes to you as an adult, but then you realize that that adults were just full of BS once you become an adult
fricking this. You pretty much just learn ways to act like you know what the hell you're doing when you get older.

You must have had a shitty high school and college life if work is better
High school did suck. College was ok. But some people just like their jobs and actually like coming to work. Shocking I know.

That work will be better and easier than school
I'm graduating in August and worry about this a lot. I worked hard in school and sacrificed a lot of good times that other people experience, so it really wasn't fun. I have a great job lined up and keep telling myself that it has GOT to be better than what I'm doing now, not the subject matter, but the overall amount of time/stress--but what if it is actually worse?...

i would say money. specifically the idea that when you're an adult you can automatically get a job that pays enough to afford whatever you want. i know lots of people who grew up in pretty affluent households that got out of college thinking they're immediately going to buy a brand new lexus and a 2500 square foot house. lol.
some actually do it though, because they feel like they deserve it. maybe they're fine, but i think a lot of them wind up overextending themselves because they feel like they "need" a new car, house, etc. very few people can walk out of college and get a job that pays for all that crap.
