[quote=Anonymous]I am surprised by the replies.  I think this completely depends on the job/career path.  I found the first year working out of college to be incredibly stressful.  I worked for a nonprofit and was working ALL of the time.  I really missed having a life and free time.  Although I excelled at the job and made some very good friends, it was not a good fit for my personality and I was miserable the vast majority of the time.  When I went back to school for law school, I truly felt like it was a vacation.  Having time to just study and be a student is such an incredible luxury.  I fully enjoyed my time in law school and pretty much hated my first two years as an associate at a law firm.  I powered through, however, and am now a partner at a law firm and there is a lot that I like about my job.  The early years in any job can be incredibly difficult because of the steep learning curve.  I do not say this to scare you but just to offer up another perspective and viewpoint.  If I have any advice, it is to find a job that is a good fit for you and your personality.  [/quote]
