RAT RACE

A way of life in modern society, characterized by people competing with each other for power and money.

The rat race is a term often used to describe work, particularly excessive work. In general terms, if one works too much, one is in the rat race.


He decided to get out of the rat race, and went to work on a farm.

I'd love to get out of the rat race and buy a house in some remote part of the countryside.

He is tired of living in the rat race every day and plans to quit his job soon and do something else.
