Will I have more free time and less stress once I finish college and go to work?
As a #computer-science major in UIC, my many assignments and study hours result in very little time for anything else, including hobbies and sleep. I was wondering whether that is going to change once I have a job, or not.
Similarly, does work give stress as college does?
Was it hard to pay off college?
I want to know my financial status and if college is the right path for me. #path #college #financial-planning #money-management
