yes it's true, but US working hours are even more unfriendly than Bracknellian (unless he wants to work for US Gov off courseOriginally posted by Cort Haus
He doesn't have to live in Bracknell.
Having done those kinds of hours in the past - I have to say that they are seriously bad for your health.
)
as for 80 hr week... well I agree that they are bad, but as a foreigner in US trying to succeed, you will have to do a lot more than the usual suspects who know their way around already and only average 50-60 as I suspect most US guys do (or at least everyone that I know personally, some even work 70-80 which is like 6 days 12 hrs+ ...) + two weeks holiday a year for the start
and I am not talking menial jobs but skilled, developers, network engineers, accounting etc...
in Croatia I doubt anyone works that much on average... perhaps times have changed, but generally people do not tend to know what it takes to "make it" in the west... and what it takes to "sustain the level" either...Socrates: "Good is That at which all things aim, If one knows what the good is, one will always do what is good."

I wasn't doing it directly for the money - I was only being paid for 37.5 hours. It was about commitment to the projects I was working on and a lack of immediate alternatives at the time. It did make me feel very poor - of pocket, of time, of health, and of spirit.Originally posted by Blake
It's the people who work 80 hours week who probably tend to feel the poorest, regardless of how much money they earn... because they STILL feel they need to work harder to earn enough money...Comment

**** that noise. I work 40 hrs a week. Or rather I'm *at work* for 40 hours/wk.

I thought I'd heard it was around $24,000. I was surprised the BLS had numbers so high. My gut tells me yours are more accurate.Originally posted by onodera
