For those of you here been in college and are now working..do you like College life better or Working life?

[wasserkool]

Well, what do you guys think?

 

[Taggart]

college and no responsibility FTW

 

[Martin]

Definately working life. Its ONLY downside is the fact that you have to show up..something which was completely optional for me in university.

anyway, if you think college life is better, than you either weren't in engineering or you have a sh!tty job.

Working life.. getting paid and no HW or midterms.

 

[maddogchen]

well there were way more hot chicks at college than at work...

how so? Which company are u working at?

College.

I'm in school and working at my "career" now. School is great because I'm interested in the things I'm doing. Sitting in front of a computer for eight hours doing dull "work" isn't what I consider fun.

Given the chance, I do believe I'd stay in school for the rest of my life.

Working. Lots more fun and the pay is better.

Lots more time off in working life. Pay is better too.

The only thing I can see that would be beneficial in the working world is actually making money.

College is INFINITELY better imo. I LOVE learning environments. If I could get paid based on the number of classes I take or the number of degrees I earned I would never leave. Work environments usually suck. At 33 I've only ever had 2 jobs I liked going to (out of 20ish), and neither paid enough to put food on the table.

If it were not for classes/exams/homework, then yeah college was fun. But I had a full time, salaried job during college, which was irrelevent to my major. So when I graduated, life was much easier.

If you get a job as an engineer, you pretty much get no exposure to women (same as in major-related courses in college) and have to work your butt off (which you did in college).

Knowing that, I'm really not sure.

College just delayed me from getting my career started sooner. It was necessary, though. I was in a big hurry to start earning money and not spending it on college.

 

[spidey07]

College by far.

No responsibilities, meeting tons of new people and bangin' a different check each week.

All working life gives you is money and I'd trade every bit of it to be that carefree again.
