For all the homework, ting xie that I routinely failed, holiday
assignments that were always done at the very last minute, multiple
projects & deadlines & ... ahem enlightening project group
dynamics & politics , heavy lifting and blood loss from paper
cuts during research in library, intense photocopy machine
radiation, months long thesis crafting that feels almost like
you're writing a book...
I'd still choose ANY stage of school life over working life
In school, you screw up, you get comm service, or at worst
detained... you're down but not out. You're still taken care
of.
At work ... you're on your own to sink or swim, there's no luxury
of a safety net.
