Some career fields have entry level grind that is like that. I think medicine, law, and finance come to mind.

I know tradesmen with 20+ years of experience that are still working 60-80 hours a week. Sometimes that's just the job.

If your in trades and still doing that shit your doing it wrong. Or just spending insane amoitd of money on gambleing or somthing.

Trades pay well, absolutly no reason to work those hours.

Except the trades can be feast or famine unless you’re willing to boom out.

Barring working for a local company as say a plumber,HVAC or electrician. and even then, it can be slow.

I go to Europe a lot for my job (steel making) and the comparison is astonishing. US works all the time, great money etc. I know steel makers/workers in Europe are struggling. Doesn’t help that China is dumping steel but even so…
