[QUOTE="Jane Smith, post: 89448, member: 7481"] I am an older lawyer and (years ago) was at a big UK City firm, but not in a department with particularly brutal hours. When you really enjoy work and are more senior it is genuinely not a chore. I still enjoy it. You get into such "flow" of it that you can be engrossed (although obviously not with the duller tasks). However I am old enough now usually to be able to ensure I have enough sleep and choose what I do. Everyone has to make their own choices but make it an informed choice. If you don't think high pay is worth it if you are never able to book a social event during the week, there remain huge numbers of people who do want that. I rarely missed school events by the way whereas my school teacher husband had to miss just about all of them. I had the money anda bit more power and control over fixing meetings and he earned much less and had zero ability to take time off in a school day even for a child's carol service. [/QUOTE]
