Bachelors degree or graduate degree?

I'm work in non profit management, administration and development and my salary is just under $225k. However, the constant being online until midnight, never seeing my kids, waking up in a cold sweat at night because of work, is really wearing on my family. I'm looking for a role that is hopefully closer to a 9-5 job or at least has slightly better hours.
Before people flame away, I've stayed in roles like this as long as I have because we have family we help support or anticipate will need help later and we wanted to build up savings while we could as long as we could stand it
So my questions:
1. do jobs like this actually exist? I've been working insane hours for so long its hard for me to believe everyone isn't tied to their blackberry all night and always on call
2. how much can I expect to make in a role with scaled back hours like that? I assume its at least cutting my salary in half if I were to start doing development for a smaller non profit, which is fine.

This non-profit scam needs to stop, seriously 225k? Thats highway robbery. If your donors knew that they would pull the plug on you ASAP.

Have you seen what the head of the Sierra Club makes?

It raises questions for me, too.

Both my husband and I work for a non-profit. We make about 100K with bonuses, and work 40 hours a week. Our workplace is super family friendly, and will pay for White House Nannies to come take care of kids if their schools are closed so we don't have to take off, or if we want to work from home.

^^ 100K each I mean. Would love to make more, but the jobs make it worth it.

How old are you guys?

I'm 29 with a BA and make no where near 100k.

Winner of most useful informative post award!!

I am an accountant and I less that 40 hours- nearer 37 and I earn just over $200k. ~$210k.

A friend works as an executive assistant, less than 40 hours per week in the summer and really easy job. $72K

For the accountant - do you work for yourself or a private company?

Welcome to youth! I don't mean to be condescending, although it's going to come across that way. I'm astonished by the number of 20-somethings who expect 6-figure salaries and private offices.

Anyway, government contractor. ~$140 before I took a paycut to go part time. 40hr wk when I was full time, contract didn't allow for more. I have an advanced degree, but have many colleagues who have only bachelor's degrees.

NP. The only reason I expected 6 figures is because I had 6 figures of debt coming out of college. Of course I'm 28 and still 2-3 years from making 6 figures.

I work for the govt. - IT Project Manager - $122K
I have a BS in Math and a PMP certification
I have 20yrs experience
I work 7-3:30 and have 2 work at home days. Sometimes I work 8:30-5 if my husband has to work early.
I could easily make more but choose less stress and flexibility - I am the mother of a 10 and 12 year old.
