THIRD-YEAR STUDENTS OR GRADUATES ONLY: Generally - which is harder uni or work?

in terms of the following:
A. workload
b. Pressure
C. Level of difficulty

Please compare any job you've done before with uni (FINAL YEAR - LEVEL 6*)
Mention your job you are comparing and optionally your degree.



(*please do not compare first or second year - especially not the first)
I have found my job to be easier than final year, however it has started to get harder - currently:
a) Is higher
b) Is lower
c) Was lower, not about the same
Work is higher pressure, workload and difficulty. No contest.

Did an economics masters.

Yet Job:
Workload is higher.
Pressure is infinitely higher
Difficulty is much higher. The answer is never on a book. Nothing can match experience which I have none of.


Point is, for most, a real job will be much worse in every way.
I find that work is much harder when you have a 'proper' job with pressures on how you perform, financial incentives, several layers of management whinging at you from one side, several layers of subordinates whinging at you from the other side, 12 hour days, constant stress and very complicated tasks.

Uni seems difficult at the time but it doesn't really compare.

Of course, it depends on the job you do. If you're selling chairs for a living it won't be especially complicated.
