Well, you don't know my college, or perhaps your job is more taxing than I would ever want, but writing papers every day, developing theses, studying for four hours each day, taking quizzes, midterms, and final exams, and working at the same time is WAY harder than just going to work. I've worked too, full-time during summer, and payed bills, taxes, etc. Going to college is way harder for me because it's intensive study, with the expectation of doing work
outside of class. On top of it, it's very bland because my peers are very much the same (i.e. have similar socioeconomic status). "Real life" isn't difficult if you have a brain, common sense, and patience.
