“The workplace is supposed to be easier than higher education.”
Damn right it used to be. My job never gave me an extra 10-20 hours of “homework” a week that I was supposed to do without pay. Though on the flipside, if I could skip every class in college and still pass the tests, the professors didn’t care, but work does want me to show up for at least 40 hours a week even if I can get the work done in 25.
Our buttercups have wilted under mental health challenges with this powder puff college schedule:
“According to one survey conducted by the National Survey of Student Engagement, most college students spend an average of 10–13 hours/week studying, or less than 2 hours/day and less than half of what is expected. Only about 11% of students spend more than 25 hours/week on schoolwork.”
