Student Life vs. Working Life

Recently things have been a little hectic in the Wolfstar office, so our apologies for the lack of blog posts! Our work load has increased dramatically since winning various clients and we’re currently working to tight deadlines on a few different projects. 

All this extra work has got me thinking about the difference between student and working life.  When the conversation of life after Uni (yes I’m afraid it will all come to a sad end) comes up with my friends, most of them shudder at the thought and dread starting a full time job.  But is it really that bad?

As our work load has increased, so have my hours and I’m now a full time worker here at Wolfstar (well until I go back to Uni!) To be honest I haven’t found the transition from part time to full time all that noticeable; I mean obviously it means I can no longer have a fantastic lie in but other than that it’s been fine!

Working 9 to 5 means I can now fully appreciate the appeal of the weekend whilst knowing I’ve spent my week being productive and gaining great experience along the way. 

Students, like myself who have the opportunity to take a placement year are incredibly lucky because this year can give a us a real taste of what our lives could be like after we graduate. 

I strongly believe that all students should take any opportunities to work full time during holidays as it really is invaluable experience.  And if this job can help you advance your studies, that’s even better!

Anyway, I should probably get back to “the grind” (I’m kidding, of course!)
