I didn't realize the hours were that short per day. That's not nearly as bad as i pictured it (8 hours a day 7 days a week). 25 hours a week is no problem op. Buck up man. You will be alright.

I'm 23 and I'm co-owner of a company that requires me to work a minimum of 40 hours a week and be up at 5:30am monday-friday. Really fucking blows but at the same time the money I know I can be making is what keeps me going, you get used to waking up early even though it always kind of sucks, money is money and someone will take it if you don't, and if you need it, stick with it till you find something better. I would love to bitch about it myself but I'm just trying to get my company to the point where I can hire more people to do most of the shit for me, so I can work easier the older I get. Hopefully I'll get to the point where I barely have to do anything, but that requires a lot of hardwork, but it does pay off.
Job sounds shitty but just look for other jobs and leave that one as soon as possible.
Edit: I just saw it was 25 hours in 7 days, I'd trade with you if I could for that lol.

I'd work 6 hours a day mon-sat I could have had a job that allowed me to work sat
being forced to work on sunday should be a crime, I don't know why the country is in such a shape were you have to work more then 40 hours, after that you're pretty much running on fumes and setting yourself up to take more sick days

It sucks working 7 days and only getting 25 hours unless you have a very short commute maybe or aren't getting paid hourly. I mean I normally have to figure that at least the first hour of every shift is just covering gas and food for the day. You could get a second job, but your possibilities are going to be limited because you already have commitments every day.
It really depends. If you like the job and people and it doesn't stress you out, it isn't bad. I will work shitty hours for shitty pay as long as I'm not miserable, but sooner or later I usually end up miserable.

Quit with the jobs and find a career. What ever it is that you love, find a way for it to make money for you. Then start your own business in that industry and strive to be the best.
If you get a second shot job on top of your other shit job, or just quit and find a new shit job, you will still just feel like shit.
You have a lot of time in the morning while picking up that parking lot to think about what you would rather be doing. Dude people can get paid for jacking off on a webcam in today's age. You gotta figure out what makes you happy and make it your goal, you shouldn't just survive, you should thrive.

Only 25 hours a week? That's nothing man. Who cares if it's 7 days a week if you only do 3-4 hour shifts.
When I worked landscape we would work 10-12 hour days 6 or sometimes 7 days a week. That's a lot of hours.

The job I had was 12 hour days 7 days a week. It's not constant just during certain periods (though those periods can last months). Was worth it to me. I was making about 6k a month. I was the lowest paid person there as well. I was only getting 15/hr. In that field you can get up to 50/hr. That's like 5k a week. You spend at least half the time just sitting around doing nothing. Hell yeah it's worth it. I'm waiting to go back to it now.

Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Right now unemployed living off of savings. Job I mentioned above was NDT and I got laid off after the work slowed down. Ended up going into retail and recently lost that job after nearly a year there. I had intended to stay in that job until my friend could get me hired back on with him as a full time employee rather than contract worker (contract workers are disposable). Hopefully I'll be going back soon though.

oh dear, that just isnt going to work. that leaves no time for you, and you need to have time to yourself.
there's no point working if you cant enjoy what you earn or have a life.

12-13 hours a day isn't so bad, i used to do snow removal and and worked fast food, it wasn't unheard of for me to work 20 hours straight, take a day off to sleep, then work twelve-16 hours the day after i slept.
