Re: How many hours a week do you work?
40 hours May - December, 50 hours JAnuary - April.
HArd work is good, but working 60-80 hour week for 18 months my first job out of school, burned me out pretty fast. Plus for me I find I Can work 3 jobs and be happy but 1 job with too much overtime will drag me down pretty fast. I like variety. Going to school and working 3 jobs was more work, but I Thrived on it.
For now my goal is to work as little as possible so I have more time for my kids.
At the same time we are in budget crunch and I Am trying to work 43 hour week for the rest of the year - will net another $400/month.
Tax season is crazy but I am lucky to have found a job with minimal tax season hours AND plenty or work to work 40 hours the rest of the year. Honestly I have it pretty sweet since most of the jobs in my field run the 60-hour-week variety OR the busy 4 months and no work left the rest of the year. Though that alternative will be nice when I am not the sole breadwinner. I will probably then stick with my job but be PT most of the year and FT during tax season.
Oh yes I Also have it pretty sweet because I Am salaried but get paid overtime too. Not weekly/monthly, but I will get it eventually in an overtime bonus.
