I work 1:00pm to 9:30pm and my wife (RN) works 7:00pm to 7:00am.

Traditional 9:00- 5:00pm or anything close to that sucks balls and here's why. Traffic is shit, you can't get much done after work because many business's close by 5:00 and you're either still at work or stuck in traffic and waking up early to an alarm clock whick also blows.

On top of that, most jobs pay a little (or a lot) more to work swing hours.
