[quote=Anonymous]I don't doubt that people work that long, and do so on a regular basis. It just makes me feel incredibly sad for them. Ok, thats an overstatement. I feel incredibly sad for unsettled refugees. I just think it's a sad reflection of our cult of work in the US. I know many of the people in these situations would agree, but for whatever reason they are stuck. Even if it's the golden handcuffs -- the high pay that they cant walk away from because their debts or lifestyle costs are too high. That's still sad, and it's exhausting. Despite a great education, I have chosen an easier path for me and my family. I still feel like a wage slave at times, and my job isnt as fulfilling as I wished, but it's a "good job." I urge my children to pursue their passions seriously, so that they may have the opportunity to pursue them as a livelihood in the future. I also would tell them there's nothing wrong with opting out of the rat race and going somewhere where a balanced, fulfilling life is more sustainable. [/quote]
