lol, finals are 100 times easier then real work. I get paid to go to school though, so I don't complain. $1500 a month + free school, yey veterans benefits!

They may be easier, but there are 500 other things that is for the better when you are done with school. Money being one of them.

Not really. Been working over a year and life has been super easy. Get up, work 7.5 hours, go home, don't need to stress about absolutely nothing, do stuff for a bit, go to bed, cycle continues, week end is near, do stuff for longer because there's no work for 2 days, cycle continues again.

Then again it depends on the job. I hear of people who work 12 hour non stop shifts of hard labour without any kind of breaks. I don't know why people do that to themselves.

Monday- Intro to Scientific Research/Thesis

however, grad school finals are more laid back than undergrad (might just be the change in institution)

Job is much better then school. No more doing stupid homework, no more taking stupid test and no more taking stupid classes because your schools says so.

I didn't say that school was better, but for me it's a SHITLOAD easier :) Perhaps it's because I worked a very demanding job for 4 years before going back to school.

Monday - Constitutional Law
Tuesday - Logic
Thursday - West European Politics
Friday - French

My finals happen to go in order of descending difficulty, although none will be easy. Logic is going to cream me in all likelihood.

Good luck everyone!

I had a Geology 300 final. I only needed a 65 on it, so I didn't study, and forgot to bring a required atlas. I know I got the 65, but probably not 75 :)
