re: More important: job satisfaction or convenient schedule?

Pay being equal, I'd take the schedule every time. Personal satisfaction is one thing, but I'd rather try to find something in the current job (or the free time) to keep me interested and sane than to move to a shitty schedule. Especially with kids it's worth it.

Yeah, I was just thinking on my way to work how I probably couldn't attend as many Pelicans games if I didn't get off work until 6 (mom and pop store) or later.

I'd still have plenty of free time, just on off days or at odd hours. Prior to this job, I voluntarily dropped down to a 36 hr position so I could work 3 12's. The days I worked sucked, but being off 4 days/week was . Great schedule for a young single bachelor! Now I'm married and would prefer to be home when the wife and future rug-rats are home. I doubt I could get that schedule back though anyway and would likely be working 4 10's if I went back to the hospital world.
