Just curious what other people work. Here's my info:
Age --------- 23
Field ------- Civil engineering
Hrs/wk ------ 45ish
Schedule ---- 9/80 (every other Friday off)
Leave home -- 7:40am
Get home ---- 6:20pm
And no, I don't care what your 5k PR is, how many miles/wk you run, how long it's been since you've got laid, etc. Also, how much of your work follows you home once you've left the office?
Age --------- 28
Field ------- Web Something or Other
Hrs/wk ------ 40
Schedule ---- M-F
Leave home -- 8:00am
Get home ---- 5:30pm
And to answer the other questions anyways: 15:28, 70, 3 days, almost none but I will occasionally respond to an email or two.
Age --------- 22
Field ------- Mechanical engineering
Hrs/wk ------ 45ish
Schedule ---- mon - fri
Leave home -- 8 - 9
Get home ---- 4:30 - 7
probably another 3 to 4 hours of studying and 5 to 10 on personal field related projects. hopefully someday the extra personal time will lead to something meaningful.
Age---------60
Field-------law (document-review contractor, aka temp attorney)
Hrs/wk------56 (billed) last week, so maybe 62-65 hours at work?
Schedule----9:30am to 9pm, M-F; 10-5 on Saturday
Leave home--around 9:00am usually, but more like 8:30 if I walk to work
Get home----10pm-ish, M-F; 6pm on Saturday
I almost never bring home work (average is maybe an hour a month, literally). The stuff I work on is typically not allowed to leave the building, anyway.
Not that you asked, but I would have grossed ~$2,200 last week. That's fairly typical for my English-language jobs; the foreign-language stuff usually pays a few hundred more.
Age --------- 26
Field ------- Environmental engineering
Hrs/wk ------ 45ish
Schedule ---- 10/80
Leave home -- 6:40
Get home ---- 5:20pm
I could work at home every day if I wanted, but as it is I do some every weekend. It isn't so much because I absolutely have to (most of the time) but just to lighten my load during the week.

Follow-up: when I was a college track coach, I was in my 20s to 40s, worked 80-100 hours a week, left the house at 6:45am on weekdays, and returned between 9 and 11pm. I did most of my technical study and workout prep while at work, so didn't bring much work home; but if I came home early some night, would typically spend the evening making phone calls.

Over time I've learned to let the looming deadlines or projects work themselves out in my subconscious while away from work. When I first started I would toil away too much physically and mentally away from work. Now, I just go in and do work son! The pay isn't the greatest though but, isn't the worst either.

I use computer programming and optical design software,

Its interesting, but not what I want to do with my life.

No work follows me home. At worst, I end up working longer or going in on the weekend. I'm too early in my career to take it home with me (read: I don't get paid enough to take my work home with me).

Are you married/have a family? You grossed $2,200 last week? Total? That's 40 per hour.
If I worked those type of hours, I'd hope to make $400 an hour. My estimate is you made $40 an hour. No way I'd work that much for that little.
