I’m in construction. Not union. Working above about 10 hrs seems to be the norm for me and most others. 5-7 days a week depending on the phase of the project. I don’t think I got a lot of this left in me and I’m pretty young, so I’m getting concerned. Not sure how the older guys do it. Anyway, I’ve done that rant a lot here before so I won’t get into it. My question to you guys now is, is it possible to get good work life balance in this field? Anyone have an example from a company they work at or someone they know? I like the work itself but I’m absolutely not willing to put it over my family, friends, or health for the rest of my life.
Anyone from other countries in the same field, please let me know about your experiences too. I’m curious.
