Gotta work for your money to enjoy game time, that's the unfortunate reality I'm afraid :p
I myself am looking to get back into work, but something part-time. I worked full time for a year under a contract. Personally I felt it was a waste of my life. Â Where I worked was hours away, had no car to get there, earliest train to get there on time. Would work, come home, late night snack, sleep, up at 4am (this was all a 9-5 shift btw), and so on. Didn't have time to see friends because they worked weekends, no time for games. I was lucky to have about an hour.
Now that I'm unemployed I still rarely get to see my friends, but there's plenty of game hours. I rarely game in the night. Come 10pm I go on the laptop and see the family,
My advice... if you can, go for part time. If you're desperate, both. Make a schedule, see what time you have spare.
