That just cannot be healthy. Ther are people in this country too that have a schedule not unlike yours -- but those are the kind of people who have an ulcer by the time they turn 40, and have an heart attack by the time they turn 45.


I don't get overtime, Jeroen, so that doesn't help much :-)
Wow, your salary is *that* high? It is pretty much standard over here that in certain jobs (typically in higher management) you do not get paid overtime, but those people then have monthly salaries that are written in *five* digits.

Such pay is awfully nice of course, but I do not believe it would be worth the 60+ hours each week and the health risks. I am quite happy already with my four-digit salary (although there is room for improvement there!) and my 42-hour work week (which includes 4 hours per week of commute and 2 hours worth of lunch breaks).
