Which do you prefer: a higher-paying job w/ long hours or a lower paycheck but shorter hours?

Hello everyone.

I am really curious to know!
Which do you think is preferable: a higher-paying job with long working hours, or a lower-paying job with shorter hours? And why?

I also wrote an entry based on my own opinion. I'd be thankful if someone could read it and help me if I did any mistakes. Thank you all :)

My entry:

If I were ever asked to choose between a higher-paying job with long working hours, or a lower-paying job with shorter hours, I'd choose the second option (not wrong but rephrase to "latter").

I'd choose a lower salary with less working hours because I believe people should have some spare time for themselves.
For instance, many families have fallen apart, since women have gotten equal rights at work.
Women nowadays are allowed to work for longer hours than before, and earn more money for that.
Kids are left all alone after school, expected to take care of themselves and their little siblings simultaneously.
Consequently the crime and negligence rates increase; the mothers bring home more money, but less attention for their kids after long hard days at work.

Taking everything into account, as a woman, I'd choose to work for less money but more hours with my own kids.

The end.
