For the record, I would LOVE to work ~30 hours a week. However, I also like not living at home, living in a safe and rather wealthy area, being able to travel, not worrying about bills too much, etc.
It's a trade-off that so far has been worth it. But my alternative is living with my parents and sleeping on a pull-out couch in their 1 bedroom house at age 24.
