One concern that a lot of new professional millenials don't think about is ergonomics. I can't speak for everyone, but when I was in college, I used to sit in wierd positions and work through projects and papers without a second thought. And when I did, I didn't feel anything more severe than the common pins and needles or asleep foot.
When I started working my office job, I started working really long hours. I know we worked for long hours in college, but we had classes that broke up the day, and you got to walk around a lot. Since things constantly needed my attention, I would sit and type, mouse, and stare at the computer screen for hours upon hours at a time. When my work schedule started hovering around 8am-8pm, with working on the weekends during releases, my wrists started hurting really badly. I *tried* to relieve the stress with stretches and taking breaks, but there's only so many breaks you can take when there's a release around the corner and you're being pulled 20 ways.
