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?

>but how does that relate to this thread any more than Captain Picard?
Sorry for the long posts. I missed my stop on the Train of Thought.
>Wow, you sound successful.
No, just really experienced. Don't make my mistakes. Office politics and salesmanship are very important. Pay attention to them.
Here's a guy who asked customers what they wanted and gave it to them. Try to be a good salesman with your bosses+customers.  http://www.inc.com/magazine/20020201/23855.html
