Here's a question... if you guys are all working harder, what are you doing now that you weren't doing in '97?

Carrie,
I don't think most of us are really working harder. The boards get all quiet on the weekends now but many of us used to work weekends and nights. The business is more 9-5 now than it ever was.
I think the difference was that if you worked twice as many hours in 1996 you made twice as much money - because there was so much room for expansion, because we were starting from comparatively nothing and because the industry itself was in such a massive growth stage it was fairly common to have months where one made twice as much money as the month before. More work meant lots more money.
