[quote=Anonymous]Also, remember that you went from college where your class-mates, room-mates, dorm-mates were also your friends and there was a whole lot of socializing happening at all times,  to total social isolation and no friends when you entered the job market.

At your workplace, you will find that you have no friends. It is not a place to socialize.  Your most valuable hours of the day is going towards working.  Coworkers have their own life and are of different ages and life stages. You go from having tons of friends being endlessly available to socialize with you 24/7,  to not having a single young person to talk to. It is horrible.

So, you have to understand if it is just a work situation or it is work + fresh out of college + breakup with girlfriend + not settled home/family  + no social life and friends situation.

I am not minimizing the fact that you are working long hours and have no work-life balance.  That is a reality too.

My only advice is to live with roommates, as frugally as you can and bank as much money as you can.   Your situation is the normal situation in USA for new grads.   Other countries are truly not that sucky. [/quote]
