Title. Of course compared to the average college grad we're making more money with more room for progression. But that comes at the cost of poor WLB. All things considered, are we any happier than the average college grad working a normal 9 to 5? Does the dynamic change as we progress further into our careers?

Every ".... is paradise" story would give you the answer
On average probably just as happy as the average college grad... everyone's got problems and every career has its perks.
Finance is paradise. I’m way happier than all my friends, even on their best day.
I mean I just attended my friends wedding (great party btw) who lives in the south. Sure he has a house that he owns and a wife now that makes as much as he does (into 6 figures), hence doubling his income post marriage. Sure combined they make more than me and he only works 40 hours a week and has plenty of time to run daily and play rec basketball on the side. Sure him and his now wife have a car and dog and take multiple vacations every year. And yeah they get to spend time with (both sides of) the family on all special occasions with no interruptions from work. They’ve got clean streets, a back yard, friendly neighbors, constant sun and greenery. I guess you could say they are getting by.
But I have a 400 square foot apartment in the greatest city in the world, New York City, and my office has a great view of glass, concrete, and asphalt.
Lol
Pretty funny and I don’t disagree with the sentiment, but it says something when you have to construct a strawman where the “average” college grad makes six figures, works a stress-free job, is in a happy, equally-contributing relationship, and owns a home in a happy suburb…
Living in TX, having been in a southern fraternity, I know countless people in professional jobs in Dallas, Austin, Houston, Atlanta, Charlotte, Tampa, Nashville, etc, and this describes pretty close to zero of them
