As the title said, do you have the same feeling as mine? Also I have a job, the leagues are very nice and it is good paid. But I still feel the life as a student is better than what I have now. Probably because there would be more commitment and more responsibility for me to handle. I have to mention that maybe it is because I am living overseas by myself. But still, if I were in my own country, I would have the similar feeling, maybe weaker. What do you think, how is your feeling after you are no longer a student, which part of a student's life you enjoy most?

hi,gary i believe everyone has such a condition in his life. cause it's just on a transition, from an innocent student to an social man with more responsibility and pressure. i believe u'll feel normal and better sooner or later. once, in my mind, to work abroad is a very honored job. i dont know what country u come from, and where u'r working now. so dont know how to comment this.hehe... to me, i prefer to be a social man, can devote myself to the social, parents, and myself, etc, not only get from others as when a student. i do like to take the responsibility to have the power to take care of my parents, to devote for my country... but i still expect i can do better.

In fact, I have not graduated from school now, I am a senior in a university, and I really hope I could graduate soon, and step into the society, to make money by myself. Sometimes I will imagine what life will be like after my graduation, have responsibility for yourself is a great thing, but there may be a lot of troubles, I will face it bravely. Have a nice day!

Welcome to the world of adults. As life continues you will find that these feellings come around more and more often. It is not what you have in life that is important it is what you do with what you have. You are the only person that can make you happy and content. Life is hard in general terms, but it has its rewards too. Smile until it is real. Laugh and enjoy what you have and when the hard times come turn to God for your answers.

Now I am a sophomore in college.Actually,I constantly worry about my future and I am always wondering what job I will do after graduation.Many of my classmates are making hard choices whether to further their study when they graduate or to fing a job and begin their career life.I will go to graduate school and get a master's degree because I am interested in scientific research and I do believe that I can get a better salary then.I know that it is not suited for everyone to stay at school and some of my friends say that they will work as soon as they graduate.In my opinion,when we are students,we do not have to worry about some many troublesome matters and there is not too much stress.As a student,I am very expected to hear your experience at work.Thanks.

I took time off from school and am now one semester away from being done. I cannot wait to be out of school and have a job again! Being in school has it's good sides like less responsibility, however the huge lack of money in my pocket is horrible! I just want to have a steady full time job that I enjoy and no longer have to go to class every day. I know when I did have that, I loved it and I did not really want to go back to school. Give it some more time and try to find some fun activities to do after work and you may feel better about your situation!
