it's tougher out there now and a lot of the work ethic has been lost..
I agree with the former, but not the latter. The work ethic and commitment of my younger colleagues puts me to shame (I am a wily old fox though and just work smarter)
My Mrs (late 30's) regularly does 10 hour days at work and then after her 40 mile drive home spends most of the evening catching up on emails she's not had time to do during the day. Sunday afternoons and evenings are spent running reports in prep for the week to try and get ahead of the game. All for the grand sum of £29K a year.
I was relating it to my experience when we were recruiting newly qualified Engineering graduates into the company for further training prior to deployment overseas and a very high percentage never made the grade, mostly because they wanted their home comforts.
I know from our youngsters that they are around though as one has three houses they rent and the other two have their own and a house to rent out too. Like you and your good lady they are hardworking and in a smilar age range, Mum and Dad paid for their education and that was it, other than weddings etc.
