I am 29 and did several years at a large blue chip on 60-80 hour weeks (when the odd month at 100 hours!) and it gave me a break down. Perhaps I am just not as "strong" as others but I much prefer being in control of my own life (social, work, personal). I learned a lot but personally I don't feel it has done me any good in the long run. Interestingly the people who have done "the best" when it comes to promotion/salary are the ones who didn't slave away for 60+ hours a week so I question why others do it.

With the exception of your own business of course.
