My brother-in-law makes about $10,000 a year more than I do but works 7 days a week most of the time and ridiculous hours as well. He never has time for anything...and seems pretty miserable while he's at it.
We are not arguing quality of life. I am sure he is happy with his life, but like i said, don't come on here acting like you roll in cash as a gym teacher LOL.

Obviously went over this guys head...

It's not all about the end $$ amount. Many people may make more $$$ but they work much harder, usually come across angry and bitter like that guy.

EDIT: Sounded like I was calling you out. I was just enforcing your point lol.
Working on the weekends is for poor people though, derp.

Maybe there is a correlation of being poor and working on weekends if you live in those shit hole redneck towns like st paris, but not overall in the real world.

I was working on a Wordpress site this weekend. At least I got a little bit of practice there though.

This is so totally the truth. Belly's posts on this thread would be like if I was with a large group of friends/acquaintances at a party, we were razzing each other and someone went totally apeshit because they overheard some joking around and took it serious.

Work one weekend a month usually. Not too bad, they give ya lunch, accomadations, and sometimes send you out of state for a long weekend/week or a month and take care of most expenses.
and sometimes get paid to do some cool shit.

Weekends during the normal busy season and sometimes weekends during the 9/15 deadline.

Totes. :P

But yeah, Wordpress is fun to work with in my experience whereas I did some Drupal stuff for my internship this summer and it made me not wear my seatbelt on my commute to work because I wanted to die before I got there.
