I've pondered corporate extensively, and am still pondering. I have a lot of friends doing it, but they seem to switch jobs (and cities) frequently. Some of them are on-call 24/7 and have to plead with their company for permission to have a beer on a Saturday night...one girl effectively became our designated driver for three years

I've kind of gotten the impression that the corporate jobs which offer great pay, bennies, schedule, AND stability make up maybe 5% of the industry.
