Grad school vs Real Job

For the first time in my life, I'm 98.5% almost working a real job (except it's an unpaid internship [great life decisions]).  I feel like what am I doing is close enough to a real job that I can accurately deconstruct and reconstitute (newly learned word) a comparison between Grad School and a Real Job.


First, the pros and cons of each:

Grad School Pros:

• Learn things that not everyone knows
• Learn to be have a good argument, or at least make others think it's a good argument
• Meet people with similar interests (in my case, all Girls)
• Spend 20+ hours/week with these people
• Almost never be judged when doing research/homework on your laptop..in a bar possibly at the bar (FREE WIFI)
• Free access to research databases 
• student discounts
• Pajamas allowed
• Summer vacation (sort of)
• Financial aid checks

Grad School Cons:

• Learn things that you will never use
• Be around people who make better arguments than you
• Realize that you don't necessarily like all people with your same interests
• Spend 20+ hours/week with some people you may not like very much
• Realize that you probably should give up alcohol for Lent, just to make sure you're not an alcoholic.
• GRE to get in
• PRAXIS to get out
• Unpaid internships
• Unpaid internships for 40 hours/week and homework for 6 credits
• Undergrads
• Living with Undergrads
• Living with Undergrads at a party school
• Student Loans

Real Job Pros:

• Theoretically, you get paid (I don't currently, but let's overlook that)
• People actually think you know what you're talking about (surprisingly, sometimes you do too)
• No homework
• Meet people with similar interests
• Employee Discounts
• Paid vacation

Real Job Cons:

• work 40 hours/week EVERY week
• no summer vacation
• working with the same people everyday (some of who you may not like)
• Waking up at god-awful hours in order to look nice

I'm sure there's more.  I'm sure I have friends in Grad School and Real Jobs who could add to the list.

I suppose I didn't reconstitute them.
