Christian: Having an office
There have been times when working full time while going to school has been a drag, such when everybody wants to go out late on a school night but I have to be in the office at 8:00a the following morning. But yesterday morning, while finishing my thesis (done!) I needed a quiet place to sit, lay out some books, and write for a few hours. My options were:

1. A tiny 2-foot by 1-foot desk carrel in a dark corner of the occasionally-odd-smelling fourth floor of the library, or
2. My office at work, where I have a massive and clean desk, bright lighting, a huge 20-inch LCD monitor, an impossibly-comfortable Aeron chair, fresh coffee and breakfast, and on Friday mornings, almost complete silence.

Sometimes working while going to school has been a drag. But other times, the benefits are worth their weight in gold.
