> That is until they wake up in their mid forties/early fifties and realize the entire life passed them by. This is more fitting to people who have spent their entire life up into their fities in jobs. Esp. so in US, where there's very little vacation. From what I've noticed, people who work non-stop since leaving college are pretty dull - they just didn't have time to have many varied experiences. Also, the job often becomes their identity and they have problem seeing that there are many other things to life. I've genuinely felt sorry for some managers that I've gotten to know better in my career - they're 20% of what they could be, if they didn't just work all the time.
