[quote=Anonymous][quote]You know, maybe this points to a problem in our society. The choice shouldn't be "work normal hours and live in a beat up area with crappy schools" or "work so many hours you don't have down time with your family but be able to give your kids an education." Am I the only one who finds this absurd? [/quote] It is absurd, but it is also not an either/or. Many, many people work normal hours and have a decent life. We do. If you value having a three million dollar house over time with your family, then perhaps you make that choice, but most of the people I know who work 70 hours a week certainly have more than one choice. They choose to work that much because they make the calculus that the pay off is worth it (or they in fact prefer it, because its a form of avoidance of family, which is not to be underestimated).
