[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the OP raises a good point that I struggle with myself: where are the jobs that actually take up a full work week but don't leave you bored for hours a day or take up evenings/weekends?  Because I've found that to be a hard balance too.  When I was child-free, it was no biggie to work 10-12 hour days (sometimes without much pay) plus weekends and travel.  But now, at 40 and with a masters degree and a 4-year-old, I feel like I've paid my dues to a point and shouldn't have to work crazy long days anymore.  I've love to work a solid 8-hour day, get my (not huge) paycheck and go home.  OP, I hear ya.  Being bored saps your energy, and it's hard to get motivated again when there are busy times.  good luck.[/quote]

I work about 50 hours a week and most of the time, my job is challenging and interesting. Some of that extra time is nights when I'm at home with the family. Personally, I opted for a job that's a bit busier than is totally comfortable with two children because I can't stand to be bored. Of course, my kids are older (elementary school aged) and my husband is a good partner. Couldn't do it without a husband who does his share, and more, as my job requires.[/quote]
