So I know people who are workaholics. They work 100 hours per week, not an exaggeration. They have no time for family or friends or hobbies. They make lots of money but don't ever have time to spend it. They come home from the office at 1:00 am and get up again at 6:00 am to do it all over again, seven days a week. It is an incredible, ridiculous grind. They don't seem to love their jobs. Not hate, but not love. They are constantly exhausted.
This is just something I have been thinking about. I'm thinking of going to law school and I know many corporate lawyers work 70-80 hours per week and their clients in finance pull 110 hour weeks. People on WallStreet literally die from exhaustion. In 2015, there are people dying from being overworked. There are lots of these people out there. What do you think is the motivation? Maybe money, but like I said they don't spend it! They don't have time to travel or go to the mall or look at lots of nice houses. I just don't get it. I'm not judging at all, more power to them. I'm just curious as to why they might do it. I'm all for working hard, but I will never stay in a job that works me more than 65 hours per week on average. That to me is working plenty hard. Thoughts?
