I make a good salary without working long hours

True, but not everyone can work for the government. But it is a good place to work if you want to work a straight 40 hour work week.

And some in the private sector too
People can have a work life balance if they want to
But some people rather chase the money than work life balance

Yes, but I do think it's harder in the private sector. I do agree some people would rather chase money/prestige or whatever. It sounds like that's the case with this woman. Personally, I don't get how anyone would want to work that much for something that isn't all that important (IMO), but that's just me. I hope she is socking away a lot of money.

Yes i would agree
When i dated some of the workacholic woman
They held on to higher positions in the private sector
Some were teachers, bank managers , and some super visors
It was hard to date these kind of people not only had long hours but on call as well
I went on a date to ihop and we were going back to her place but her boss called her and she had tp dropped everything and i went home for the night
People who had lower positions like
Payroll assitant. Help desk , desktop support, Paralegel etc
Pretty much any entry level worker that was a female was more easier to date since they didnt really have long hours

Personally i wont leave my job because i hate long hours
I feel bad for men and woman who have to date people who are workacholics
I could never do that
