'9th, you been in the real world job market yet or are you just at school still?'

When I was in university I had 35 hours of classes per week, then studied until the early hours every night (and weekends). That IS the real world for university and med students in heavy programs. Summer jobs, where I just turned up for 37 to 40 hours per week in an office with nights and weekends to myself, were my vacation.

The 'real world' comprises more than just office jobs. Dogging it and ripping off your employer by surfing the 'net on company time may be less 'real' than what many people do.
