i just got my first job (yay!) and im ecstatic! i graduated last year and ive been in a slump the following months because i kept getting rejected to where im applying, but finally, ive been hired. this is such a new experience for me and my college practicum was enough to give me an eye-opener but not the full experience. i just gotta ask though, is it normal to be so tired after i clock out? i work 8 hours during weekdays, and i clock in at 8, out at 5. ive been noticing that im getting home tired, and im barely able to eat dinner before i succumb to sleep. is this just because im new?

What does your job involve? You didn't say? Are you fit? How old are you? You start work at 8 and clock out at 5 What travel is involved?

@eimaki I am not sure if you should be feeling so tired. What you do sounds quite normal to me Have you any underlying health issues which could contribute or worse fatigue?

hello! im in my early twenties and my job consists of just being in an office and doing paperwork. i only have to take a taxi to go to work, and sometimes i even just walk when i have the time.

Congratulations! I'm very happy you got a job. I hope you enjoy it and have no problems while working there. Anything you do that is a change from what you've been doing can make you tired until you get used to your new schedule. Just give it time and you'll be fine.
