I've been wondering the exact same thing. Especially in regards to working hours and what not. Seriously, when did work go from '9-5' (or something similar) to 'let's do as much overtime as possible'? Too many young people seem to be treating work like a community/social club thing rather than a work for hire one, and forgetting that work is really a means to make money rather than the entire meaning of their existence. Maybe this also explains why hobbies seem to be on the way out in general. To a world where your passion 'has' to be your main job, the idea of doing anything for fun must be a dying trend.

> Maybe this also explains why hobbies seem to be on the way out in general. I don't understand where you're seeing this - I think people are becoming much more serious about hobbies these days. People don't just go jogging - they do ultramarathons. They don't just enjoy baking, they set up baking tutorial YouTube videos. They don't just watch movies, they write their own fan fiction and get it published. They don't just play with toys, they build Arduino robots. This is the age of the amateur professional in hobby areas.
