You’re a sick man! :-)We occasionally get university students in for work experience. I watch them closely in the hope I can witness the moment their spirit breaks and their hopes and expectations wither like untended roses.
University students are far too clever to need advice from the likes of me, obviously. But if they were willing to listen, this is what I'd tell them:You’re a sick man! :-)
It's almost like whoever made this read my mind...
Peel towers were set up at the Northern borders. After being largely abandoned in the late Middle Ages, they were said to be home to a certain malicious type of Goblin called a Redcap, as they would dye their hats red by soaking it in the blood of their victims

LOL i.e. the world outside of childhood and academia."Until now you've been in an environment where almost every adult you met was invested in your success, to a greater or lesser degree.

In a healthy employment relationship both parties are trying to advance the other understanding it's best for both of them.It is sad how true that is. I always tried to advance the careers of my subordinates. It used to annoy the crap out of other supervisors that my employees actually liked working for me. They couldn't figure out it was just because I didn't treat my employees like disposable cogs.
Do what I do: find the nearest intern, bite them on the neck, suck out all their caffeine.My coffee roaster is not roasting. But the test-cycle fires off and it goes through every system without a hitch... ARRRGHHH...
