[QUOTE="CoryAndTrevor, post: 3047372, member: 67995"] Apparently I was misinformed. I did some reading around the innernette, and yeah the consensus does seem to be that 9 to 5 is a thing of the past. My dad, with an engineering degree, has worked 9 to 5, sometimes 9 to 6, for the past forty years, so I guess I just assumed it was normal. That plus the Dolly Parton song. Point being, it's :censored:ing stupid to work your life away. In America, yes it is. Now I'm not saying I'd rather live in Europe (although I may just do that if Trump gets another 4 years), but the tendency to overwork is not a fact of life, it's an American cultural thing. Not the same in Europe.
