[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand these posts. He's a doctor, not a martian. My parents are both doctors. Yeah, the hours are not 9-5 on M-F, but very few professions or high-earning jobs are.

DH and I both have senior roles in tech. Sometimes we work until very late at night. Sometimes my day starts at 6am. Sometimes we have to work on the weekend. Both of us often travel (pre-COVID). Honestly, our schedules are far less predictable than my parents' were.

Is your question about marrying a physician? Or is it about marrying someone with a demanding job? I know a lot of physicians, and most of them have better schedules than DH and I do.[/quote]

I feel like esp in the DC area, people just don't understand it. My spouse is a Dr. Government modality here is so much a part of a culture....more than once here, we have met 'normal' people with government and government related jobs in this area who literally asked my spouse if he got makeup hours so he was only working 40 hrs per week. People who work in tech or biglaw or finance get it more, I think. But that is not the DC culture. I lived in nyc before and it was different. Lots of (educated) people work d wacky and non-predictable hours. Here, it is just not the case[/quote]
