I agree with you, but since this is the way of life with certain jobs overall and in other places some jobs in certain areas it’s something I caution students to look at before they choose that plan for their life. We all know becoming a doctor takes long years of schooling, a lot of money, and a hectic life during training plus many times on the job afterward. When a student (including my own lad) tells me this is what they want to do, I caution them to shadow and think of all that means bringing up family life and similar things for them to consider. Go in with eyes wide open.
Many opt against those jobs or those locations when they think about the realities of it. Some take it on and thrive.
Humans are built differently. It makes our world go around.
Solid Type B here. A hectic life would be my nightmare and I see no point or positive coming from it. H is/was Solid Type A and would happily be a workaholic working 23/7 if I hadn’t corrupted him by showing him other things to enjoy in life. Now he’s an A-/B+. It suits us both.
So much of one’s personal contentment in life depends upon getting a reasonable fit for their personality. This isn’t just for selecting colleges.
