[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m wondering how many PP have a spouse who works considerably more than 40 hours a week? If so (and they are really in need of 8 hours of sleep a night to not be horrible to be around, does that change your answer? He’s mostly working and asking how high whenever anyone senior says jump. I strongly suspect he could get away with less but obviously suggestions to that effect have not been well taken. He is also unwilling to apply for other jobs where things would be significantly better (because he will not do anything that could be seen as a step down in prestige). So he always says he’s busy and maybe he is. However he will find time to waste on some random house project that was bothering only him if he wants to. [/quote]

My husband retrained for a less prestigious job, a skilled trade. He joined a union at low pay to get his foot in the door. But it has a contractual pay scale. He cannot be forced to work overtime. He gets plenty of vacation time. Sometimes he signs up for OT when he can make double (or rarely triple pay). But yep, less prestigious. Doesn’t sound sexy but significantly more income and training paid by employer. [/quote]
