Nah, peak is university in terms of free time.
I mean, for the subset of people who go to uni and can support themselves without also working a lot in that time, yeah.
In my time at uni there was
work, at which the hours were inconsistent
coursework, which there was a lot of
constantly battling a shit landlord who didn't give a toss about uni students and left the flat in disrepair, but the housing shortage meant he could get away with charging a fortune for a mouldy flat with broken windows and non-working appliances
There was a lot of good, sure, but uni can be a very stressful time.
I think a big difference is what the free time is like. I worked full time or nearly through college, so I didn’t have much free time in terms of quantity. When I got it, it was often with friends and during the day. When I graduated, I got a job with regular hours for the first time- I had so much free time, but I didn’t have a lot to fill it with, nor did I have a lot of energy after sitting down. Developing an active hobby helped with both, but doesn’t work for everyone.
I’m in grad school now, working 30 hours a week, and I do feel much more weighed down, but I’m able to set my own schedule a lot more than I could when I worked in an office
I had a similar experience and worked a bit (not a load though) as I was lucky enough to get some support from the Bank of Mum and Dad.
I definitely felt like I had more free time then versus now though. But maybe that's just rose-tinted glasses.
So basically "people who would still get a job at daddy's company regardless of a degree but a degree looks better for PR"
There is a big range between "parents could save up for their kid's college" and "parents own a large successful company".
I'm just some grunt working an office job, but I'm still lucky enough to be able to put away money for my kid's college fund since they were born. I hope that they won't need a job to get through college, when/if they go.
Not if you choose engineering as your major. I’ve never worked harder or longer hours than when I was in college.
If you knew how many times I thought about ditching my job and just go to uni again…
Not for STEM Eastern European universities. 😆
Can confirm. Biochem is killing me.
Yo my boiiii. Good to still see you here. ^^
Wait you're the other Czech on here! Haha yes good to see you! What STEM did you study?
Naah I'm hungarian, I just know you host the 2visegrad4you community where I run my bot a while back.
Ohh that's where I remember you from. Do you still use it? I killed the script on my computer a couple of weeks ago, but I can turn it back on if you like
I haven't used it that much tbf, just a bit. I finally have a homeserver now, so if I need it, I can just easily start my script. Thank you for the offer tho!
Also what are you studying?
Software Engineering. I'm gonna start my last semester soo only the dreaded closing exam has left for me.
If you can afford not working, yeah. That wasn't a reality for me or most people I know. Luckily I'm in a career that doesn't value a major that much, so I dropped out after finding a decent job
I had a full load of classes at uni and worked 40 hours a week. Not much free time was has by me
But university students manage to feel overwhelmed if their course load has them putting in 35 hours a week.
Heck, half of uni students dont even go to the lectures
