I remember when I was in 7th grade and realized that the working world would be like being in one class for 8 hours and it was somewhat of a panic moment.

Well, it's more accurate to say that the classes aren't defined. You have to create the structure by deciding what's important to you, and you may face opposition from managers who think they know better than you do when it comes to what you should be doing.

If I were running a company, the default assumption would be that employees are autonomous and the manager's role would be advisory, as in, "If you don't know what to work on yet, <X> would be a good place to start. I'll introduce you to the team."
