who here actually programs for a fulltime job

Do companies that hire programmers expect them to work overtime, like even when they're at home?

I'm about to send my resume to a bunch of companies but I'm afraid once I get a job I'll have no time for myself anymore.  I really want to beat Earthbound but responsibilities are already taking up enough time as it is.

Will I have more free time, or less free time, when I get out of college at the end of this semester and have a programming job?

Does it depend on -what- you're programming?

I was a programmer(.NET with MSSQL and occationally had to maintain some older apps written in ASP/PHP running on MySQL), for 12 months after getting my BS degree, I hated it. I like programming as a hobby more.

Meanwhile, I am thinking about getting a degree in English linguistics (English is not my first language) and try to learn Chinese. Translating, heck, or even teaching is a job I think I could do, it lacks the stuff that annoyed me about programming(fixing old, undocumented software, trying to get relevant and persice information from clients regarding their wishes - that is fuckin' hard, people often don't have an idea what they really want from their information system, they have some vague ideas, but as they say, the devil is in the details)
