I worked around 50 hours a week when i was 17-18 and was in school full time.. it sucked. The two days i wasnt working 10 hours i was in school for 10 hours, and then had a g/f on top of that.. it blew and i failed two classes, so now i work minimum, and and am now looking for a part time job.

I think the US is one of the most overworked nations. A lot of European countries have 4 day work weeks and get 1-2 months of vacation time rather than our standard 2 weeks. -------------------- Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it... |

[right][snapback]250793[/snapback][/right] why do you work so much? [right][snapback]250881[/snapback][/right] I really only have to be there 8.5 hours a day. Anything more than that is time and a half. i work nights cause its another $1 an hour and I dont have to deal with stupid people and their crap. also my entire 6th day is time and a half. I do it for the pay and because I got a bit credit card happy a few years ago. My credit is paid now but I like having a nice fat pay check every week also. -------------------- Member of Team 5sfTe

it depends how long the tournament lasts every week. But on average probably 4 to 6 hours a week as a professional gambler.
ok, ok maybe I'm just unemployed and have a gambling problem. --------------------  |

this week I'm looking at 58.5 hours, the overtime pay will easaly pay for my new tail lights, shifter, side markers, intake etc. I'm a very happy boy, however the last few days at work have really be hard, and in some cases (like tues, witch was one of my days off) I have had to skip any breaks and lunch to meet the deadline (meaning I worked 10 hours straigh, with just a 30 min drive to a differant place mid shift)
but for my baby its well worth it, in about 2 weeks its gana be my dream car, well looks wise, the turbo is gana be a wile. -------------------- |
