How do you guys do it??
I'm a brand-spanking-new college grad, and today I had my first interview for a typical 9-5 job. How the hell do people do this!? Even in the interview it felt like I was looking down the barrel of a gun--"we offer one week off after your first year, and then two weeks off after your second year!" Two weeks!? Out of the whole year!? And by some standards, that's generous!? Yes, there are weekends, but Saturday is coming off of Friday and Sunday is ramping up to Monday and there's no real "day of rest," as it were. I feel like now that I'm out of college I'm finally facing the reality that like, there is really no other option for me. I'm not going to be a famous musician or actor... I'm just going to have to work, 9-5, nearly every day, for the next 50 years. How do you guys cope with that? Is there any coping at all? What's even the point of all this?
