It depends on what the job is and where it is, etc. There are tons of variables that would tell you what it's like. As for the coworkers, that is also full of variables. There is a good chance they will be all different ages and backgrounds and personalities, so it's not like school or anything. Depending on your school you may or may not have classes with different ages and backgrounds from how it is in high school too.

I like the way you talk, sir.

You KNOW you're going to get a job!

Having a full-time job has its hassles. But's a hell of a lot better than being unemployed, that's for sure.

I worked 30 hours a week, for 8 weeks, unpaid at an office. I don't know if it would feel any different if I were to be paid, also I had a stint at a warehouse job at 12 hour shifts doing hectic warehouse duties like heavy lifting, pushing trolleys, dumping stuff on conveyor belts which was paid but didn't survive for very long in that environment; it was hot, even at night.

Now my expectation of a full time job is if you can't commit to slave labour work patterns, you aren't cut out for work at all.

Depends on the job. Very hard to be on someone else's schedule, and you may have few outlets to avoid stressors/burnout. Hopefully you will have good coworkers. Be polite and you will make friends.
