I worked for years doing the salary and 80 hrs/wk thing like many here seem to be doing. Recently I moved to Ak where there is a state law that requires I.T. people to be hourly. I'm a net admin and my boss the I.T. manager is also hourly. Guess what... there are very few "emergencies" after 5pm. Huh, imagine that! I'm off at 5pm and my weekends are mine.
Don't let em fool ya! Unless you make well over 100k they are sucking the life out of you.
