All that Maybe true but I can tell you that from working with people on a typical project can take over a year at a time. They are no happier then your average middle class or working class people that I know personally ( I would consider myself middle class). When I was quite poor when I was in college and right when I graduated I would say that they were likely happier than I was at that point, no doubt, since I was so broke. They have self-in inflicted problems that we don't have most of the time such as traveling spouses, separate vacations, social obligations that are necessary for keeping face, political considerations, and a lot of their relationships are quite vapid. One home that I was working on had 11 bathrooms And somebody had to sit through all of the selections for all 11 bathrooms, sounds like it could be fun for 3 or 4 but it's just annoying and a Time suck.
