This. And they really like their jobs. This is typically found in industries that have grueling early training, like medicine, law, finance.

I could ask the inverse question too – why do people brag about how little they work? Don’t they realize that slacking off means someone else is picking up the work?[/quote]

Look, I was one of those folks working in banking but I had a number and I stuck to it.  It was worth it to me to work crazy hours until 35 when I hit my number and then called it a day.

I have been super lucky to do all this into a healthy stock market so the $$$s have grown quite a bit, and I was able to go off on my own and still consult for a bunch of these clients for 1/2 the pay but literally 80% fewer hours.

Like the BigLaw poster…if you can just keep a couple of clients and you remove the firm, you can net a ton on your own.
