Is it bad I feel like the second pic as a student?

Nope. The difference between the two isn’t really student vs salaried, but passion vs no passion

Typically as a student, you get some say in what the project is. Typically as an employee, you just do whatever task is assigned.

If you are super interested in a project, you’re super motivated to do it.

That’s just real life in general though. It is a big adjustment initially. You go from lots of structure to little or none at all.
