<p>as far as career and money choices, it’s all personal preference. If you are passionate about what you are doing for your career and that is what you love, then working long hours might not be a big deal. Maybe it results in more money. If you want to be a teacher and have your summers off for time to vacation (though you won’t be able to go to places that are as fancy), that is fine too.</p>
<p>You should not judge how happy people are by how many hours they work. And you should not judge their happiness by how much money they make. Different people prioritize different things. It doesn’t make some people better or worse, it just is.</p>
