You're right. Work and school aren't the same. Here's a typical schedule for a college student...mine. I go to class sometime between 8 and 10 every morning Monday through Friday. I am home by 12:35 at the latest (only two days a week). The way my husband and I have made our schedules, he is never home alone more than two hours. Homework is usually always done well before five and this is after eating lunch and spending time with Marty when I first come home. Saturday morning, I do my online coursework and have the rest of the day to spend with Marty and my husband and Sunday we have the whole day unless I have an extra hard assignment such as a research paper, in which case I would spend a few hours working on that. I'd also like to mention that anytime I'm doing my homework, 99% of the time Marty is laying on my lap while I'm on the computer. If not, he is on the floor at my feet.
So yes, you spend time at home doing work, but the actual time you are away from home is much less. So it more than evens out...except that Marty gets to be with me during most of the time I'm "working" which is not the case with a full-time job.
