I agree with you.
Specially the extra work hours thing.
Sometimes you choose to work the extra hours to make some extra bucks . But sometimes you just have to. They require you to.
However, there’s where you have to put on a scale and see if it is worth to sacrifice doing things you love and working on your passions... or just living. Or is it more important to make money during that specific period of time?
The answer can be different throughout your life... you might need to ask yourself that question a couple times in your life.
