Work can't cope.
From a social perspective, the biggest change before and after work is the change of social role from "student" to "worker". There is only one word difference between going to work and going to school, but there is a world of difference.
Before work, you can let yourself drift at school and increase your horsepower to learn to cope with the exam. Even if you make a mistake, others are still children. Forget it and live a quiet life. After work, if you are still free at ordinary times, you will find that you can't cope with work problems at all. At this time, no one will care about your age. Wrong is wrong. In the workplace, everyone cares about your ability to work, not what kind of top student you were in school before. If you don't do it step by step, you will soon be eliminated from the workplace.
The circle of friends is getting smaller and smaller.
Before work, when I was a student, everyone had the same age, social status and spare time, so there were many topics, and it was easier for everyone to get together because they shared the same interests. Good brothers and sisters in the dormitory, classmates who occupy seats together, and friends who chat in the club are all based on preferences.
After work, I can only deal with my colleagues from nine to five, at two o'clock and one line every day. At work, many people have different ages and interests, so it is difficult to have the same topic. Even if you want to meet some former classmates and good friends, it is difficult for both sides to spend time on the same plane. Either you are busy or the other party has no time. Maybe you have more and more contacts on WeChat, but few people can really chat, which seems to increase your circle of friends, but it is getting smaller and smaller in real life.
Become independent
When you are still at school, when you encounter grievances and difficulties, you have friends and parents behind you. These people are their solid backing, and they can really feel the warm embrace, even if they are hard.
After work, you will find that you should learn to bear it independently. When you encounter more and more things that need to be carried by yourself, even if it is difficult, you will bite your teeth and start planning your future. You will see how much burden you have to bear. Although you will feel extremely lonely at this moment, you are also the most powerful at this moment. When you enter the workplace, you will know that you are no longer a child.
Consumption becomes free.
Before work, most of the financial resources were provided by parents. After all, we don't have a job at school, and naturally we don't have a fixed income, so we always think twice before spending. Because they are afraid of spending money too quickly and being accused by their parents, their parents work hard to make money, and they don't want them to work harder, so they basically have some money left after being fooled for a month or two.
After work, with a fixed source, you will find that there is not much deposit in the end. Rent is a big expense, and the second expense is three meals a day, and then some expenses such as daily necessities and clothes are shared, but at this time, the consumer psychology will be more emboldened and free. I didn't want to see a performance before, but now I will go to see plays and musicals. When buying goods, I will choose similar goods that I like or have a slightly higher price.
There is less time for entertainment.
Before going to work, you can still go to school in high spirits and have more free time by staying up late playing drama, playing games and singing K all night. During holidays such as winter and summer vacations, I want to walk around even after class, and I will never feel tired. On Friday, I began to plan where to play or what to do at the weekend, which made me very excited.
I slept more than 12 after work and couldn't get up the next day. Even if I stay at home all day, I can't seem to regain my energy. Many times, when I come back from work, I don't want to move in bed. I feel tired after two steps, not to mention going out to entertain myself. In life, everyone is occupied by trivial things except work, so I should not have enough energy to make room for my play. Speaking of holidays.

Although the state before and after work has changed, it is also a process that each of us needs to go through. Maybe the changes now make you feel uncomfortable, and more changes in the future may make you a better yourself.
