According to career consultant Alexandra Levit, YES! Levit and other experts and business leaders foresee recent grads taking on too much responsibility when they break into the corporate world. Levit urges recent grads to resist sacrificing personal time in exchange for a faster climb to the top.

"You have to go out of your way to protect your time, but you have to go about it more subtly," she says. "If you sacrifice too much of your personal life at the start, you risk having a stressful, unbalanced life that's permanent."

Several factors are putting recent grads at risk for job burnout. One of these is their drive to succeed. Millennials as a whole are extremely eager to move up the ranks. Another factor is a wave of new openings for high-responsibility jobs. As baby boomers retire, millennials will take on a lot more responsibilities.

What do you think? Can recent grads find a work-life balance?
