I’m not sure. For me the point in college was to learn a lot, or outscore other students on the curve, so I didn’t really care about TAs or textbook costs. At work my point is just building a career, to which most coworkers are just incidentally relevant. If coworker is an asshole I’m lucky so far to usually treat it as an opportunity to learn how to deal with assholes, and learn how dodge their moves/move in the right direction anyway. But it’s easier to do this the easier your life is in general perhaps.
