I'm with Jess here. All career-type jobs require flexibility these days. I used to have weeks where I would have to be in the lab for 14 hours on 3 consecutive days (or more if I was really pushing it!). Everyone I know in academia and R&D is the same.
Teachers do seem to believe they work harder than anyone else. I notice it with friends and when I did some experience at a local school. To be honest, the frequency of the 'woe is me' attitude quite put me off going into teaching and having to work with these people.
(Though I'd add a disclaimer that I'm sure none of the posters on his thread are so out of touch with reality)
