I laugh at some of the responses in this thread when the original poster specifically stated, "HOW IS IT FOR A SINGLE PERSON?"

I think, no doubt, the job sucks for the family life, but that's something we all know. The question was to the single life, not married, and I still sense some bitterness from those who have established a family already.

Of course we know that, regardless of whether you're married or not, we should get paid better. Of course, that's not the argument. I'm earning **** right now but still manage to live a normal life without bitterness. I still have my fun.
