Thanks for the responses, everyone.

I agree, I think I'll burn out at some point down the road too if I continue with this lifestyle. A lot of what keeps me going is seeing others do the same thing and somehow they still manage. I try to suck it up because I don't have a spouse, kids, or any major responsibilities yet, so I should have the capability to work hard and study hard. I can't really ask my manager for less work though because a) I'm still new and fear that may look bad and b) I probably have the least amount of work as anyone else on my team and I don't think they complain to my manager, so I'm least warranted to complain about work load.

I always hear it's common to switch careers a ton through our life, but it sounds easier said than done. I got a graduate degree specialized in this field and already spent a year and a half to pass 3 of the professional exams. I would hate to give up on the career and have to start from square one. I would most likely need to go back to school and take more loans out... Out of some of my other post grad friends, I consider myself super lucky for getting a job right after school that could expense me moving out of my moms basement. I don't want to return there.

I just want an easier job. But nothing gets handed to you with that attitude.
