It can be hard to gauge aspects of a job until you are in that job. School can only give you a glimpse, not the whole picture.
Then they chose the wrong career. I can't go to my boss tomorrow and say "Gee boss, I didn't realize this job would be so stressful...I need more money". Just doesn't work that way. I have to decide whether or not the amount I get paid is worth that stress and if not look for other options.
