1. Way more writing, way less math.
But the math is way hard sometimes, I'm expected to know it, and I have to get it right every time. Real life is pass or fail.

2. I do more writing
I think I do about the same amount of math, though most of it is much simpler. The hard ones are for fun, generally.

Way more writing. I have to write pages every day. At least in college, you could cram most of it in a night or two a week of intensive work.

5. Oh, I loved working against a deadline in school.
I wrote some of my best stuff with my back to the wall and one eye on the clock.

3. I don't have to do more writing, but I do a lot anyways.
And trust me, it's the same high quality you've all come to expect from me.... :silly:

I never do math anymore, except to count my last few bucks each month. :)

4. More of both actually, and I'm in construction.
Math on a daily basis, fractions, trigonometry, algebra. And as foreman of my crew I have to write out daily reports on what we've done, the material I need, the problems I need solved and so on.

6. Grad Student in History, there is no life outside of the consumption and production of text.
