  Not really, my current job is like 10th in the queue involved summer jobs. For full time jobs it's like the 4th.
context: Yes! I couldn't agree more! I'd never want to go back to childhood, when I was dependent on others. Yes, now there are plenty of responsibilities, and difficulties but they're my own, that lead towards my goals, and my dreams. And there's no one to stand in my way and say "no" just because they think otherwise. >
  
  I agree, full heartedly. I'm in my 20s, but I'd never want to be a kid again. I grew up with very harsh bullying/anxiety disorder. Being an adult, I have control of where and who I'm around. As a child, I didn't have that sense of control at all >
  
  This is one good point that i didn't mention. Thank you! I'm glad you're better now. >
  
  Same with you dude! Adulthood can suck, paying bills is torture, but thank god we have control over our surroundings/enviroments >
  
  I grew up in an abusive home and now have a very safe, loving household with my husband. While I may be biased, I definitely prefer adulthood to childhood. Maybe if I had a healthy childhood I’d feel differently. 😅 >
  
  Seconded. My childhood was chaotic and scary as hell. All the freaking time. I love my peaceful and quiet life now. >
  
  Yes! I'm in my twenties and have been working for 5 years now. Always knew that "high school is the best time of your life" is BS. It's so much better being independent than having less freedoms and choices and living with my parents (they didn't restrict me, I just don't like depending on someone). I was always annoyed by teachers and classmates but I love working. I got the chance to move abroad which you can never do as a kid (on your own). Plus, adults are less mean. Anyone who thinks that children are better human beings forgot what middle school is like. >
  
  I have to point out that being an adult doesn’t automatically mean you are working a 9-5 that ends at 5 >
  
  or working anything resembling a 9-5 at all. Many other options out there besides traditional corporate schedules. >
  
  Yes this is what I was trying to imply >
  
  Dunno, both sucked/suck for me lmaooo >
  
  The most relatable "adult quirk" is falling asleep after sitting down for more than 30 seconds at a time because you work 50 hours a week with 3 days of PTO per year (because you're an American, and not some random European dude who gets 2 whole months of paid leave they legally have to take). >
  
  It’s better to be a mid 30s - early 40s adult.  You finally have enough money to do what you want and still have the physical ability to do the activity. >
  
  “If you don’t have kids” by that time I guess >
  
  By then kids should be around 8-12 years old and can go with you. I was really trying to emphasize the you still aren’t too old and out of shape to do something. >
  
  Well, I've been an adult for WAY longer than I was ever a kid. And on balance I'd say that being an adult is better. But...it's certainly not more carefree, except maybe very early adulthood...that period just out of college...single...few responsibilities. The whole young adult loose on the town period. That's pretty great.
  But later, parenthood, financial pressures...it wears on you. There's a lot of stress. And no, my 8-5 job is nowhere near 8-5. Email and cell phones make  it 24/7. I was answering email on xmas eve and xmas day. >
  
  Not everyone has to be a parent. If you don’t want the responsabilities of being a parent you can opt out. >
  
  It was simply one example. Things tend to be less stressful when you’re younger. Most people have more responsibilities as they get older. Maybe everybody doesn’t, but generally that’s the case. >
  
  So you got your first job then.
