[quote=Anonymous]For my first job in 1996, I commuted by car an hour and 15 min each way because I lived with my parents to save $, and worked an 8:30-5:30 job. I remember being exhausted when I got home at night, but that’s just how it was and I remember being grateful my parents didn’t charge me for rent or food so I could save some money those few years. I then was able to move into a shared apartment with friends and advanced to a better job; however, I worked longer hours in that job so my day, start to finish, was the same length. I am not an “I walked both ways uphill” kind of person, but I do think you need to expect to prove yourself and work hard. Spouse and I both comment that we in our senior roles work longer hours than most twenty-somethings at our respective companies, and they act shocked and often put out if we ask them to stay to do something.
