This- in academia.

people who mange their time wisely and don't sit aorund catching up with coworkers half the day.

My husband makes 180K and because of our schedule with the nanny etc., usually gets in at 9:30 and leaves at 5:30-5:45 most nights, so I guess that is about 40 hours. That said he rarely takes a real lunch (will grab something and eat at desk) and he does sometimes get online at home for short bits of time.

I have stricter expectations, and really am supposed to be here from 8:30 - 5:30.

+2. I'm paid below market (though well) and haven't gotten more than a token bonus in years.

I wish he could work a little more, accept more responsibility, for better pay!

Don't you like your husband, or would you rather seem him gone 70 hours a week and making (maybe) $130k?

What is your job? Do tell!

Yes. I work 40 hours a week and make over $200k. These jobs do exist.

45 hours, $163K

My husband make 200k for 40-45hrs /wk. Plus great benefits. but he's very specialized inhouse lawyer. Incredibly specialized (ie JD+ Masters in the specialized field). Cush job. He's the "junior" one in his office by 15yrs, so he's at the "bottom" of the salary/bonus scale now, hopefully will grow soon. He realizes how lucky he is.
