College student here, graduating soon. Recently received an internship offer at a top firm. Industry leading pay, high retention rate, prestigious, praised training programs. Of course I'm going to accept.

But I feel like I'm signing my soul into wage slavery. Long hours, little work/life balance, endless assignments. I feel kinda shitty knowing the next 40 years of my life will be a desk and a stack of paper for 60+ hrs a week, even if I jump to a new company in a few years after padding my resume and experience. How do you veteran wageslaves manage corporate life? Any advice on maintaining happiness and comfort? How do people manage long work weeks?
