  • You'd be expected to show up between 8:30-3:30 M-F (including lunch)
  • You can stay for extra stuff if you want but no obligation to
  • If you get your work done on site you don't need to bring it home with you
  • You only need to complete the work by the deadline and to a passing quality, if you're not the best that's fine they're not gonna fire you or replace you
  • ~3 months of vacation every year + holidays
  • pretty much unlimited sick time as long as you get your work done.

I mean sure anything is easy when your parents are paying your rent and food but like just doing this was socially acceptable.

And I remember hating being at school it felt like such a waste of time, I'd rather be at home playing guitar hero or some shit. Now after working like I have, if a job like that could pay the bills I'd walk out tomorrow.
