[quote=Anonymous]meh. My wife and I have advanced degrees from good schools. Our classmates are leaders in industry and government. I'm an engineer. I get to solve fun problems on a daily basis and get paid well for it. I also rarely work more than 40 hours a week, and get to spend time in the evenings and weekend with the kids and family. Have I lived up to the "career potential" my education provided to me? Probably not. Do I care? Not really. We have the things we need, and will always have the means to get them -- because we're good about not always buying the things we want. I hope to retire early, travel, spend time with family, and relax. I simply don't see any benefit to the additional material reward that comes with the longer hours and additional stress. I believe it is the rare individual that has stated on their deathbed, "If only I had led one more merger and acquisition deal". [/quote]
