And, to be brutally honest, I'm really not making climbing the ladder a big priority in my life. I've got a job that pays the bills and lets me leave the crap behind at knockoff time - and living with someone who's job is so stressful he practically has panic attacks on a weekly basis, well, I kinda think I made the right choice there. Same thing with my family, my dad spent years doing dual jobs or working overtime but I don't see the point in putting in huge hours if its not gonna get me anything I care about. My mum raised me on a disability pension, so my standards for 'good enough' are pretty low in any case.
I feel you there man. I don't make a whole lot of money, but I don't despise what I do and it pays the bills as well as my collector addiction. I work maybe 30 hours a week and have two days off in a row. I'd trade "financial gain" for a reduction in stress any day.
