I would never trade the freedom I have now to be back in school as a kid who is beholden to the wills of adults around me.

At least I am paid to sit at the computer. Hated being a kid, no freedom. Adult, responsibility, sure, but paid to work, go where I want, choose how to spend my time and honestly plenty of choice in HOW I get my paid work done.

I was actually having fun until we were all forced to use AI or fall behind. Now it’s boring as fuck and I’m not even allowed to work part-time? Typical capitalist scam.

That said, I like being an adult with adult money. I wouldn’t go back.

School is so boring!

Physics Colloquia: Particle Accelerators: Pushing the Frontiers of Physics

College was probably the most exciting period of my life. If I didn't have to pay to be there, I'd have never left.

Tbf school was way more than just "boring." Remember waking up at 6 am and immediately running few miles in gym?

Went perfectly nice with the following 8 hours where you learned how to do absolutely foreign concepts and rotated the subjecs every hour or so.

Also having to ask for bathroom permission was an experince. We had "tickets" that can be used 5 times per year like some fucking videogame consumable.

I would fucking kill for a boring office job again.

Life at least was not miserable during school days. Those who say "freedom". Where do you see freedom when you work all day? Literally you are doing the same thing that you did at school, even longer hours now that you are working lol

Nah, in school I always thought working would be so much better, but I also felt I would likely change my mind by the time I got there.

I have not changed my mind one bit.

I freakin' LOVED school. I just hated the getting up early part.

Kids should work first, so they appreciate school more.

I used to sleep on the desk, could not help it. Even when I had sleept the previous night.

I also fell asleep on my feet in the store when I was being trained.

Is it possible to have narcolepsy from stress?

Honestly I prefer it. I genuinely enjoy aspects of my career. Also I go home to a loving wife instead of my parents who while mom loved me very much both needed so much therapy.

Primary school, middle school, sure, good times.

High school and college... I'll take one job any day over a "job" per subject. Except the long breaks, my adult life really needs those. I get so jealous when work with a European colleague has to go on pause as they take a gigantic time off.

It's not that school isn't bad (in most countries at least). It's that working is just even worse. School is only nice in comparison. Just like getting beat up is nice when compared to getting murdered.

Happiness really does come from within.

in college, teachers complained that a proposed law that would enforce students having at most 2 hours worth of homework a day would mean they would have to give significantly less homework (saying its barely anything)

in my class, i do not know of a single person that sleeps the recommended number of hours

i wouldnt consider school boring

I'm glad I understood after going through a good amount of schooling and having crap retail jobs that an office job was not right for me. While I believe I missed the mark slightly with construction carpenter. I'm pretty happy with my day to day.

I know my experience is far from universal but I prefer my job so much over my school.

Llmbot... It's the 3rd week you showed us this comic
