What is the biggest challenge at work: the people (office politics), or the actual work?

Jane W asked:


Someone once told me that the hardest thing about work is not the actual assignments you are given or learning and performing the actual duties themselves but the people interaction required. He told me that the office politics and the interpersonal conflict is far more difficult.

Do you agree or do you think the actual duties you are assigned is more challenging.??
I am not talking so much about socializing in the office but getting people to work effectively together because most of us can not work in isolation.

Major

I want to be an attorney. I am highly interested in both politics and philosophy. Which should I major in?

I know that I can basically major in anything and still go to law school, but I want to either major in politics or philosophy due to my passionate interest in both.

Any advice on the subject?
