Just looking for some insight from everyone who has experience in the workforce. It seems like the only way to really make money/move up is to work ridiculous hours. Is this true? Can you make a decent salary without working your life away? If so, what fields?
That is incorrect.
The only way to make [good] money is to have a business and work for yourself.
How old are you? I'm just wondering if older people tend to sleep less. I'm almost 20, but I can't function with less than 8 hours of sleep per day.
Wow, really? I'm 34, and have never needed more than 5-6 hours, although more is always nice... but I can function perfectly fine on 3-4 if need be, which I have done for a few jobs. In case you all haven't noticed (by my late postings), I'm a major night owl.

The issue for me is consecutive hours of sleep. Most nights I'm lucky to get 4 hours straight sleep before being woken by something or other.
For two nights I was getting about 5 hours total, no more than 2 at a time. I was noticeably cranky and could barely play the piano or concentrate on anything. Not getting enough sleep is very noticeable for me.

I'm with you there. During the week, I am a notoriously bad sleeper, waking up every couple of hours and it often results in my being crabby as heck. However, on the weekends, when I can sleep with no worries, I sleep well and am a completely different person.
I wonder how much of the negative issues that we face as a nation would be greatly improved if people just got more and BETTER sleep.

Oh, and since his book was made into a movie ("Love and Other Drugs") he'll be pocketing royalty money now too. Sometimes not working pays well too.
