jobs have dealines too. If I were you I'd become a philosopher instead.

Deadlines, Metrics, Targets, 'Stretch-targets', Missions, make the most of it while you can avoid being under pressure, and when you enter the job market, make sure you are ON TOP and doling it out, not under the cosh and stressing about it :-)

It is beautiful having the weekends off.
But I'm not sure if it makes up for how much more work I have to do overall.

at least in a pub
if someone is being an arsehole, chances are you can get a bouncer to throw them out.

Less chance of that if you're in an office and it's a colleague in Accounts being an arsehole :-(
