For a friend of mine it was :o
Went to university for a 3 year course, got his degree in accounting and finance, came back and had to start as a Trainee accountant as there were other qualifications he required to be at certain levels + experience was required.
Meanwhile back in the sunny Isle of Man, I spent 18 months travelling the globe, got a job when I came back as a trainee accountant, and working my way through the exams as I'm working. Already passed the first set several months before his course finished and starting on an additional 2 year course now.
I think my use of the last few years was a lot more fulfilling....he aint happy :D
