These two points are sort of incongruous. We work too hard but retiring so you don’t have to work and can spend even more time with family is bad?The concept of early retirement baffles me.
I simultaneously believe in spending time with loved ones, and we work too hard here in the US. My goal is to work "hard" (40-50hrs/week--I'm in PM&R...) a few more years. Then maybe back down to "sort of part-time," with the goal of working maybe 20-30hrs/week and having lots of free time with family on a regular basis.
You’re probably not going to like the next generation. A recruiter is a relatively frequent poster on the eye board, and apparently he gets a good number of requests for 4 day/32 hour weeks from new grads. If you’re already asking to be part-time, it’s not like you’re going to ramp up - it will be slowing down more.
