Spoken like someone that hasn't been working very long, or if at all.
While school can be very pressure intense around exams in ways many jobs aren't you at least have summer and other breaks. For work you get vacation time sure, but it's nowhere near in terms of time.
Further adult life has a whole slew of responsibilities on top that you need to handle. Most 30+ can't subside on the crap we ate during college, we can't fuck off from our responsibilities when we can't be arsed with minimal consequences and we sure as shit won't find social stimulus without putting in effort, neither friends nor romantic. Sure if you live where you've always lived then you hopefully have childhood/school friends left at 30 but if you've moved then it's not a given at all.
This might be the most (long term) depressing thing about adult life. Having a class for a semester or a year means that the mental overhead of a class builds up but, when you're done, that demand is gone and you start over without baggage next term. Jobs build up that overhead, but it just never lets off, ever, unless you quit to take a new job. Switching (professional) jobs is similar to a semester/year end and - esp if you can swing a couple weeks in between - gives you that re-zeroing and that little honeymoon period at the beginning like the start of a class when you don't have homework yet. The difference is that the switch often occurs on a scale of a decade, not a year.
Shit, I refuse to stay in a job for 10 years. There's no reward for loyalty anymore because companies will very quickly kick you to the curb when they determine their executives and shareholders aren't making enough money.
And raises are a joke. The best way these days to get meaningful growth is to move companies every 3-4 years.
In some industries, absolutely. In others, there are benefits to staying or there really is 10 years of growth potential.
It definitely depends on your job and your industry. Coming up on 9yrs. Pay has climbed from ~$35/hr to $70/hr plus bonuses via promotions and yearly merit. Note that's hourly so none of the "oh you are salary so you really work 60 hour weeks but get paid for 40" bullshit.
