[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in the minority but I can relate. I am 45, have kids at home, work in corporate management and am considering quitting and working at the garden store. I saw a for help sign there recently and cannot stop thinking about it. I get paid a lot and my job is interesting. I dont mind working. But I am getting really burnt out on the late night emails, travel, and sense that my job is never done. Getting paid $18 hour for a set shift and then leaving sounds so nice to me. Literally I'm doing to math to see if I can make this work. If I could have a corporate job that ended at 5pm I would take large pau cut. I would work in person. I just don't want to be lying in bed writing emails.[/quote]

I can relate. I am an attorney and recently quit my "part time" law firm job due to the stress of handling  client crises after-hours. I would love to find a job with set hours where I didn't have to bring work home.

My problem with the article is that I think the comparison with healthcare jobs where set hours and on call people make sense does not translate well to professional services like law firms or corporate management.[/quote]
