A while ago, I was thinking about all the payments I need to pay every end months. And I thought about during school days when I didnt have to think about all these. I thought how nice if I could only turn back the clock and go back to my school days. I realised now that schood days were much more fun than working life. During those days all I ever worry was how I was going to pass the exam. But after school life, then come working life where all the stresses begun. While working we earn money and then have to pay all bills and food. Money comes and money goes. It even harder if there was not enough money to cover expenses. During chool days we dont have to worry about money because it was all "sponsored" by our parents. What about you? Do you like working life or schoold days?

Both has an advantage and disadvantage.
If you're a student you're responsible to study
You have to go home early, everything you do has a limit. You have to obey your parents in all times.
You can't decide for yourself. There's no freedom.
As an employee you're responsible to do your work well. You must earn a living, pay for the bills.
you don't have to study for an exam, you can watch a movie whenever you like, the freedom to live
by yourself. You can stay up late if you want to.
You don't need to ask money from your parents.
But you have to deal with pressures at work.
My choice? I like working than studying, I remember when I was a student, I can't do what I want, no freedom, you can't speak your mind, you can't reason out. I can't buy the VCDs I want, I can't go out with my friends. But now that I am working I can go out with my co-workers without question ask. I can buy the things I needed without asking money from my parents. I don't mind the Bill, its part of life.

I have experienced both working life and school life. I'm still 15 and I'm still studying. I prefer working than studying, promise. Even if I am on an internship without pay, I still find it fun. I believe it depends if you love your job like I do. But, I'm still sponsored by my parents.
I'd rather have a job rather than study, provided I get an allowance from my parents.

it really is stressful once you're on your own to meet your own finances. when we were in school, life's more fun, we don't have to worry about bills and other responsibilities that were usually taken over by our parents.
you could imagine what my life was back then since i'm a working student. even as a student i still have to worry about other bills since my parents have to attend to the needs of my other siblings. but i guess having good friends at work, spending some time to unwind and keeping the budget strings tight could lessen the stress.

i prefer school life because i still can enjoy while learning but in working life, i need to be serious and totally responsible.. maybe it just depends on any person's view and age.. but in my case, im still young and hopefull.. i prefer school life..
