[QUOTE="Frunobulax, post: 659831, member: 27202"] Different jobs have different forms of abuse. When I started practicing law, I worked for eight years with a top firm and averaged 80 hours a week in the office, was in every wekend, and was making good $$ but had no life. I once worked 70 days straight without a day off. In later years, running my own businesses, I would go several years without a vacation. I could go on. Most people, I think it's fair to say, try to find a comfortable, happy medium between abuse and reward. Some folks are risk averse; and they become middle mangers (bureaucrats). Others can't be happy unless they have a lot of skin in the game. It has to do with individual temperament; but also--and this relates to the subtext of my original post--it depends on your position in life and the options available to you at the moment. [/QUOTE]
