College Life Vs Professional Life?

Add as a preferred source on Google

The simplest way to define the debate of college life versus professional life is to quote a famous saying. ‘In college we have lots of time but no money and when we start working, we have money but no time.'

In short, we are we cannot have both time and money in either life. However, most people cherish things about their college much more than work life.

Leaving college for work is a necessary step. And once you start working, the inevitable debate of college life versus professional life creeps in. It is natural to prefer one's college days because they do not last forever. You have 5 to 6 years of college life against 30 to 35 years of a career.

Here are some points of difference that you will experience in your college life and professional life.

Projects in college were so much easier
When your boss puts you on a new ‘project' you can hardly relate it to college assignments you did. At least, you had the privilege of copying the assignments from your friends in college.

Bunking was a real option
On the surface, there is no difference between bunking college and office. The only difference comes from within you. In college you have bunked classes just to go for a date and in office, you don't have the option of bunking even when you are really sick.

Something to look forward to
All dreamy eyed college students imagine a future when they will be ‘settled'. In fact, they can hardly wait to go forth into the world. But as soon as you leave college, you realise dreams were much better than the reality!

In college we had friends, at office you have colleagues
Never equate your friends with your colleagues. It is very hard to make friends in your work life. People become too competitive in their professional life to think about real friendship.

In college we were always broke
Being short of cash is one of the things about college life that we do not miss. But there is a lot of joy in being broke and borrowing money from your friends. At least it is better than borrowing money in the form of loans from banks and paying EMIs!

So in the fight between college life versus professional life, your college life wins hands down. If you are in your college life, enjoy it to the fullest because once it passes by, you can only miss it.
