Student or Worker? Which would you rather be?
The way i see it here are the advantages and disadvantages of both:
Advantages
Student: Freedom, friends, being young and having dreams and ambitions
Worker: Having money, independence, learning new skills, respect from peers and family
Disadvantages:
Student: Pressures of exams, no money, fear of future and of failure.
Worker: Stricter regime, not as much socialising, being old and seeing dreams and ambitions shattered
From my point of view i must say that i would rather go back to being a student at this moment in time. But if i did, i would go and do it all again so differently. Isn’t hindsight a wonderful thing? I just think students of today are having so much fun. Or is that all a smokescreen and they are as miserable as everyone else?
So which would you rather be?
