Yes. Jobs are even worse with remote work and email/text. your day basically never ends and just bleeds into the next. Americans are afraid to admit it because supposedly it's our work ethic that makes us so exceptional (we can discuss that on some other board), but the reality is most people work for one reason -- they have to. If you can get by playing hoops, do it.sure beats sitting behind a computer all day from 8-5 dealing with idiots and boring TEAMs meetings. I'd play as long as someone would have me. Basketball beats the rat race and cubicle/desk life hands down.
