What do you do with your dogs while you are at work?

I'm 17 and I've had a dog all my life. I currently have a jack russell. He is without a doubt my best friend. I'm purposely living at home during college so that I don't have to be away from him. And when I move away after college (planning on moving to Washington state, just outside of Seattle) I hope to have dogs of my own- preferably one German Shepherd and one white Husky. I love big dogs and need a dog that can be my running partner, not one that only wants to walk. I'm also going to have a large, fenced-in yard built so the dogs will have plently of space to run around. I am curious though, would it be horrible of me to leave my two dogs at home while I go to work 5 days a week? Would they be happy? What do other people who work outside of the house do with their dogs? P.S- I am not having kids. I am sure of this. I've had WAY too many bad experiences with kids. And my love for dogs is my top priority. So I will be devoting all of my free time to my dogs.

1. Put him in the Oven, and turn that s*** to 1,000 degree's. My dog is trained to survive in a oven.
2. Walk them before work. Hire someone to come in sometime during the day and walk-exercise them. Walk them when you come home from work. Take them out for last call before you go to bed. Put in a dog door. Once they get used to your schedule they should be fine. ( Had dogs all my life)
3. I give them a poker table, poker chips and some cards. Keeps them entertained all day long.
