I like the type of work I do but I absolutely HATE the rat race (early mornings and commuting, etc.) and don't love working a job. Ideally, I wouldn't have to work at all and just get to indulge in all my hobbies all day and spend more time with my kids. The next choice would be to work from home so I can be flexible but I have yet to run across anything to do from home that pays nearly what I make now. I'm not sure I am disciplined enough to work from home, honestly.
Both my husband and I feel like working full time is just a soul-sucking endeavor. We don't see each other enough, we don't travel enough - it's just one Groundhog Day after another. Neither one of us is an ego-driven, climbing the ladder kind of person (both of us are in the public sector without much ladder climbing anyway). We sludge through because we have to.
We are also both introverts as well
