How unkind is this?

Question

We spend the 12+ years of school expecting summer vacation, spring break, thanksgiving break, christmass break, and about a million other days off. Then we are dumped into the cold hard world and the boss says "we get two weeks a year, and no long weekends" It's enough to make one depressed.

Answer 1

Become a teacher, that's how I solved the problem.

Answer 2

That sure is unkind. But maybe you should see if you can find a better job than the one that only gives you two weeks off a year. Surely there are jobs that give you more vacation time. Unfortunately, though, that's the cold, hard world, I suppose.

Answer 3

We're the only industrialized country that only gets two weeks and that's usually only after working a full year.

We are supposed to be the world leaders but in the work force we lag far far behind.

Answer 4

Okay I believe schools give to many vacations and break. If the didn't give all of these days off then when you get a job, you wouldn't feel the real pain of reality.

Answer 5

On a scale from 1 to 10. It is hella messed up.

Answer 6

What's worse is that your 2 weeks off is spent watching kids that are out of school!!! I tell ya, I get no respect!

Answer 7

well u should get another job or maybe just accept the reality of the world that sometimes sucks:S!! good luck

Answer 8

Harsh reality, huh? Maybe that is why I never keep a job more than a year!

Answer 9

Hey, that''s life. It's all a part of growing up. It sucks but that's reality.

Answer 10

i know. that's the price of being a US working class tax paying citizen. Canada here i come....
