That whole idea always freaked me out a bit. I have some relatives who average 50-60+ hour work weeks. My girlfriend's parents usually work this much as well. Work consumes so much of their life that they barely have time to sleep or do anything else.
In my life, although I don't mind the occasional overtime, I try hard to stick to 40 hours or under. Even though I enjoy my work, I have so many other interests that I don't want to pursue only one or two.
Maybe I'm just spoiled. I know there's people out there who work two full-time jobs just to get by. I've just always felt that I didn't need or wanted to do that.
