At the moment none, just school. Ideally I'd like to work 16 with school though, which was what I did up until this summer.

Maybe 50? It varies a bit, but usually not more than 50.

I'm usually coming in right under 40 hours a week. It varies with my job. Sometimes I'll get 20 hours and sometimes 50 hours. Lately it has been closer 35 a week.

Ideally I would like to get paid more for working less hours. 25 - 30 hours a week would be great for me. Especially if it was three 10 hour days.

Depends.

Sometimes 70 a week for 2 weeks on 1 week off. Then I only work 6-7 months of the year.

Otherwise it's 40-50 a week working 9-10 months of the year...

Well?



40 hours working as a cook
15 hours of class a week
15 hours of homework/essays/school-related work

so, 70 hours a week.  Getting through school is tough when you're on your own and unwilling to go into debt.

Contract satellite installer for a fulfillment company.
6 days a week, hours vary a lot.
The norm is 10 hours a day, but it can vary from 3 hours to 12+ hours depending on work flow.
It's hard to plan for shit because we never know what work flow is going to be, but lately it's been sluggish.

Varies a bit. Min 45. Usually more like 60. Also go to school and have a five month old son. Basically my free time is measured in negative numbers.

Usually yeah lol, for the most part I can only really do shit on weekends, start at 7am mon-fri and since I co-own the business i can get done either at 3:30 or sometimes 9pm or later, but a lot of the time I get "emergency" calls and have to run in on the weekends for a few hours to do someone a favor.

45 clock hours but it's close to an hour drive each way

I'm usually gone 7-6:30

I had 2 jobs for a few months and worked ~65 hours a week. It honestly wasn't bad at all since I'd leave one job and go straight to the other, the day flew by. Working 65-70 hours inside as a cashier standing at the same cash register all shift every shift would be hell though.

I'm a machinist. What do you do?
I've been doing this for 4 years and it's a pretty sweet gig. It's non stop work from the time I start to the time I go home but that helps the time go by quick.

I sat on my ass or stood for 14+ hours a day sometimes 6 days a week when I was in the military. Most of that time was spent watching grass grow and starring off into space untill someone maybe came and visited. It was fuckin torture.

Now I have so much free time it's actually too much lol Yeah I never thought that you could have too much free time but it's possible.

I don't know how people who are unemployed do it. Id go insane, and this is coming from a guy who has zero problems going to work and then spending my free time alone for months at a time with like a 4 word interaction with someone every few weeks when I go get groceries and shit.

I try not to do that since it's not really healthy but It happens. I'm totally fine with being alone with my thoughts for long periods of time, something I found out not many people are literally comfortable with doing.

I've actually been thinking about getting a second job just for fun lol That's how much free time I have, but I will take that over working 90 hour weeks anyday.

50 - 60 hours a week.  Of course I am on salary so it sucks.  I'm currently applying to hourly positions.

I've been a "farmer" for many years. I used to spend all my time hanging with my family and working on martial arts. I had a huge run in with the police recently so I'm having to work my ass off for the time being to get money. I really miss my old life.

I work anywhere between 15-35 hours a week and I'm in school full time. I know that's not a lot of hours working but any more and I would be totally fucked. I have a hard time balancing school and work.

Moonshoe, I'm really curious about what you do for work, your hours seem really weird.

yeah, working full time and going to school is a recipe for failure. i've had a really difficult time getting through it. i'm working on getting a higher paying job so i can dial it back even more. one class per semester is about all i can realistically handle. i'm not in a huge hurry to get done as long as i'm with a good company, so i'm okay with slowing it down. i've been keeping up this pace for three years now and am just about to come apart. it's time for a change.

The UK government pays me.  I have a car food, TV etc I don't need anything else :shrug:

I don't feel bad about it either, I worked for 15 years doing 13 hour days for minimum wage.  I think its all a joke TBH its a road to nowhere in a game called the monetary system.

I'm looking for about 20 hours a week work now.  Thats enough BS for me.

I go to school and work part time as a TA. Not a lot of hours but the hourly rate is pretty good. On paper I work about 8 hours in an average week, but in a typical week it's more like 3 hours that I'm required to be somewhere teaching students. Once in a while there's a bunch of marking to do, some of which I can do from home.

10, plus I go to a community college fulltime.
Before that I was on welfare for 4 years... NOT SO FAST, strawman US Republicans! It is DUTCH welfare, which meant that I had to work 35 hours a week for various private companies, but I didn't get paid.

They call it "Work experience chances" with a straight face.
At least it filled up my CV niceley... oh wait no it didn't, cleaning schools, fixing administrations and planting trees are not the kind of skills a potential employer is looking for, at all.

I also did a lot of volunteer work during that time, but that didn't count for my mandatory "work experience" hours, of course.

Nice1Returns, me thinks you have the right idea. Fuck the rat race, I don't need luxury cars and giant televisions and holidays in some asshole resort.
Hopefully it'll be possible to find a nice balance between working for my money and having plenty of free time to pursuit more interesting projects.

Generally 45-50, sometimes 60+ depending. Plus the commute which is ~3 hours round trip. I only work 4 days a week though, which rocks. Any additional days are an IV to my bank account.

For real. I'm a pretty easy social science major (psychology and international affairs double major) and I can barely stay sane working 30 hour weeks. Couldn't even imagine working that much and coming home and having to write up lab reports and practice rote memorization all the time.

It's good for him to do that. Will help prepare him for med school & residency. Residents work obscene hours.

If I add up all my hours worked for a year and divide by 52 it comes to between 38.2 to 39.7 hours per week.

That's true. Also the main reason I decided against going to med school and becoming a psychiatrist which I considered for a while.

Although I've been playing around with the idea of picking up a very part time job at Haunted Games Cafe just for the hell of it.
