[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really 55 hours per week is working a lot? In the DMV? I don't think so. Did you imagine this is France?
OP, I don't know how you can make it better, it is hard.[/quote]

Yes, it's a lot. Plenty of 40 hr/week jobs. [/quote]
Yes, all the doctors just work no more than 40 hours per week. And earn ton of money to throw money at the problem. You sound like a lazy person.[/quote]

Well my internist only works 3 days a week; she is great and an attending at her hospital.

And her salary is huge, over 500K per year, right?[/quote]

You don't need a 500k salary to live well around here, despite what some want you to believe. An internist 3 days a week can bring home enough to have a great life, especially if there is a spouse in the picture.[/quote]
Working 40 hrs a week is not lazy, it’s prioritizing family time over work, which is the way it should be with kids. DH and I used to work long hours before kids. Now it’s strictly 40/week for both of us. No we are not pulling in 500k, but we wouldn’t be no matter how much we worked.[/quote]
