Job vs. Grad School

Job-life is like a freeway, where speed = money. Its easy to fall asleep, yet, the money will keep flowing. Life gets exciting only when you change lanes.

Grad-life is like a Formula-1 race. There will be long straights where you drive flat out and stress your engine to its limit. There will also be some tight corners and chicanery chicanes. The acceleration and deceleration can be as high as 4G. What you want to do is see the chequered flag, and and avoid DNFs. You can end up a couple of laps down, but if you drove some fastest laps, you will cherish them all life.
