Many people work long hours, leaving very little time for leisure activities. Does this situation have more advantages or more disadvantages?

Spending long
hours
on doing a job's tasks has been so trendy over the past few years that it remains neither enough energy nor ample
time
for people to have fun.
This
phenomenon,
as a result
, has affected humans' life. In
this
essay, probable pros and cons will be discussed. In fact, working for long
hours
has several benefits on people.
First
of all, the more
hours
you work, the more expertise you gain.
For example
, I have been a tutor for about four years. I remember sometimes that I had many students at the same
time
and taught for a long
time
that I reached a really high proficiency in my subject.
Furthermore
, in these ,circumstances you would earn more so that you can even afford many more activities, which bring you pleasure, that you could not before.
For instance
, going on a trip or playing tennis necessitate extra income than usual in my country.
On the other hand
, the extent to which you are occupied with your career impact the
time
left for pastime hobbies. If your tasks take up all your vitality,
then
when are you going to spend your money? To illustrate
this
, I have a pal who is always dissatisfied with her current situation: when she has an occupation, she does not have enough
time
for leisure activities, and when she quits her job, she cannot pay the expense of doing so. Actually,
this
is not limited to a specific group of the society. In conclusion, humankind needs to be busy with a beneficial task which is a well-paid profession.
However
, he/she must establish a balance between the pans of the scales, i.e, working and unwinding. Perhaps the future is much brighter in the sense that a lot of sports and pastime actions would be cheaper and more achievable by working fewer
hours
.
