Every time. This refrain is so worn out. Here's another professional tip, since apparently they're all equally weighted: there's no reason why someone has to fritter away life, potential and shouldn't strive to find fulfillment and enjoyment in their trade. Sartre was probably right too--having the right people around makes all the difference, more so if you're knee-deep in the shit.

I've experienced both ends of the spectrum: the work is the easiest you could imagine, but excruciating only because of the handful of vile people I worked with, on the other hand I pushed myself up against my limit every day but it was worth it because we were in it together.
