it sure seems that way. any well paid job seems to have a high work load.

the ones I know who only work 8 hours in office jobs dont make much and they only survive because their wife or husband brings in big money

Depending on what you consider to be decent paying, thats probably the case more or less everywhere.

Disagree. Somehow I felt like I had less time to myself despite having three days off when I worked four 10-hour shifts.

say a living wage in a high COL area like San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, or Miami

Ive no idea what that would be. I dont live in the US and dont have any intention of changing that.

Low COL is great.

All I can tell you is that I make more than that in a much cheaper place, but its not in America and I do have to work more than 8 hours per day fairly regularly.

I also get boatloads of time off though.

Yes because in my experience, lots of 8 hour jobs are working class salaries that barely pay enough to survive.

If you are an IT contractor/consultant, it is common to work exactly 40hrs/week for good pay.

Contractors in general won't be going over 40. It's why it's just better to be doing that right now than salary.

Most people I know that make a lot of money work 5 days a week but have flaky hours to their discretion. I work 4/10 that finally pays good, but I'm there the whole time working for it.

Only independent contractors are not salaried. I think it's more common in IT to get a salary from a contracting/consulting company, which then bills you out hourly. But typically the client has not agreed to more than 40/wk. And unlike (say) law, there's very little non-billable tasks to push you past that.

I make good money relatively to my areas CoL but I generally dont work fewer then 55hrs a week.

Jobs that pay well without overtime are very few and far in between.

At my last job salaried people would sometimes work hellacious hours. One guy got there at 7am every day and was sometimes there until 8 or 9pm. Managers would be called in all the time after hours.

I know they were paid well but fuck that. I want to know my exact hours and never be bothered on my own time.

Full flex time is the best. Choose your hours (within reason).

You can make above average easily with 40hr/week, though I imagine many jobs have periods of crunch.
