Good luck. I remember the days of having the summer off. Enjoy them while they last.
Truer words will not be spoken here today. Once you enter the Big Hamster Wheel of Doom, AKA "work/pay bills/work/pay bills" life will never be the same.
Unless you're lucky enough to be a doctor or a lawyer, even vacations are not vacations anymore. For anyone earning less than about 100K a year, your job is 10X harder when you come back after a week off b/c the work has piled up and you're behind on the latest policies, etc.
Those that make the $$$ have Executive Assistants to worry about taking notes for them.
I haven't taken more than 3 days in a row off in 9 years. It sucks.
