The arbitrary 8.5-9 hour workday drives me nuts, because a lot of the time, I really only have 3 or 4 hours worth of work to do. I generally work quickly and I value my time. Can I make a decent living doing something that gives me this kind of flexibility?
Honestly it’s never a bad idea. I’ve been to college as well, and I think the two experiences are vastly different and both contribute to being well rounded.
