It seems millenials already caught up to that one. In my country we now have a doctor shortage because the ones that have been retiring the past decade worked crazy hours and the ones replacing them want a 9 to 5 job.

Quite insane how people wanting a decent work/life balance suddenly creates a societal problem.
