My husband and I both got part-time jobs after about a year of living here. Mine is very flexible with the hours and days and doesn't seem to get in the way of activities. His on the other hand wasn't. He worked weekends and nights and some days. They kept adding hours to his schedule and that wasn't what he signed up to do. Eventually he was working 4-5 days a week for $8.00 an hour and we had to say no to so many invitations that our social life suffered. He recently quit his job and is now really enjoying his retirement for a change and I love it even though I still work.
