If you just count the time at work then I work (and most in my organization) about 50-60 hours a week depending on workload. But then you add when I'm home and I can easily add at least another 10 hours (probably more, but I'm trying to be conservative). Now, if I start to think about the time that I spend studying, researching, thinking and/or planning, I don't know how many hours to add to what I would consider my actual work time. All I have to say is that I love it. I would have to in order to spend this much time on work. I look at it this way; I would still spend as much time learning and studying even if I flipped burgers. It's a part of me. I think most people in this industry have to love it in order to spend as much time working as most of us do.
