Yes, the places you see and the people you meet can stay with you for a life time. But make no mistake, this is a job. You still have a boss, and he most likely has a boss. And there are standards that are to be maintained. I just got done working 3 14 hour days in a row. By the last few hours of a long day, you just want to go home... Trust me.
You're right, maybe came off a little strong, over eager. And you couldn't be more right about the perspective of the job and career. It will be tough, guess I'm just ready for a challenge and job where I can derive at least some satisfaction, and maybe an once of excitement once in a blue moon. Definitely, respect what you guys are saying and will take it to heart. Appreciate very much the time you spend responding to my craziness!
