I worked as a teacher, the working hours are supposedly less for teachers. At my first school the hours didn’t bother me and had only 8 students, so i use to be totally free at home but I hated the job, simply because the kids were totally dunno whats the right word. I just use to wait for the chutti ki bell more than the kids even.
At the 2nd school it was much better. Except the last period or last two, rest of the day was fine. But I remember I use to get tired of everything and just wanted to go home.
The third school was kinda like from 7:20 till 1:45. But what I hated about that was early morning and after school duties. Even if it was not my duty day, I had to stay at school for extra hours, kabhi meeting, kabhi kuch. I even told the principal that Why do you make us stay after school, when they aren’t our working hours. Anyways, I only ended up making her angry 
Not that I regret it. 
The work load there was the most. Like I was teaching four classes and I had to do things like make charts, time tables, progress reports, preparing students for weekl presentations and all! Every month they had exam like tests. So the first 2 weeks were spend compiling result of last month’s tests and the next two making new papers. Then checking your own four sets and then rechecking someone else’s 4-5 sets. I didn’t get enough time to even prepare my lecture, which was unfair to kids. So after couple of months I decided enough is enough! I don’t need RS 4000 for working like a khota, with no appreciation if you do something good but criticism on slightest mistake. Hence, I left.
Sometimes I do think that may be am a lazy bum and I didn’t manage my time and activities right. If I had done that I didn’t have to quit. But the thing is I am not ready to work like a khota for RS 4000 and not get any appreciation either.
The thing is working does get on your nerves at times, too much work, working late hours, having to do work even when you are home makes on think is it really worth it?
It’s true that when you get out to work, there are days when you have to work late hours or there is more work than usual but if everyday is that day than you really have to ask yourself Is this job really worth it?
Another thing I observed being a girl is that we are expected to socilise in the family. If you are tired or whatever you are expected to entertain guests, go to parties and all, even if you don’t feel like or are too tired to go. Where as no one expects my brother to go any where 
Having said all that I think if you want to work you HAVE to work and balance everything else. Tell you what you will soon realise the real joys of a weekend and that is a great blessing in itself 
Dunno if i made any sense and I think am posting with the wrong nick
