You trade time for money. And you have to watch what you say. Can't be politically incorrect.

It can be a hell of a lot of fun & profitable. Of course life is not purrrrfect and on occasions work sucks. But overall for me its been just amazing.

It's rewarding. You feel happier. You can buy things.

I'm getting a job, and I just wanted to know what it was like. I've never had a real one. I'm used to getting money from my parents and grandparents, not working for what I need.

I hardly know what it's like to be unemployed. (After working 14 of the previous 15 years.)

Your free time is limited. You'll expend more stress and money on being mobile. With money comes the ability to buy, and that introduces new layers of responsibility. If you run a surplus you'll be able to consume more goods.
