Thinking about working 80 hours a week(That's two full time weeks in one week).

A better solution would be to find a job that pays twice as much.

Or even one at your current wage that would allow you do do overtime - work a couple of hours overtime each day, which would bring you up to about 60 paid hours a week.

If you do 80 I guarantee you'll regret it. It'll be awful.

I see it as wasting your life.ILoveBeingDrunk

4 hours of sleep might be fine if you do nothing all day, but if your going to be working 16 hours a day youll have a mental breakdown pretty soon with only 4 hours of sleep.Big_player

4 hours sleep a day is no wy near enough. Doctors recomend at least 8 i think. 80 hours, man thats bad.

Edit: And why do you need the money so bad?

really depends on what kind of work your doing

what kind of work is it?

QFT.

Not even worth it. In the least.

So you want to work 80 hours a week to get more money to spend on stuff you can't even use because you won't have any time to.

That's just wasting your life.

10k isn't so bad. You can pitch in, your parents/family can pitch in, and your bro can pitch in. As for the 100,000 dollar fine... I doubt it'll come to that if you have a good lawyer.

Well, I don't have to sleep only 4 hours, if I work 16 at most, get home, lay down, fall asleep, I could end up with about 6 hours, or maybe 8 if I just fall down right when I get home.

then your brothers should sign himself up for a 169 hour work week. tis his fault.

If you don't have one/can't afford one, then one is provided for you. And if you really want to do that, fine I guess. All I'm gonna say is you're going to be spending an enormous chunk of your day working at two equally unsatisfying jobs that will inhibit you from actually enjoying your life, while providing fairly minimal monetary benefits. (people who work the sort of jobs you're talking about don't get paid much)

A good lawyer isn't cheap. Which would lead to the same problem.

Kicks you both of you out of the thread :P

Victory is mine!

I would try working at a call center. My brother is working at his third (he had issues or something with managers, whatever), and he has the option to work 10 hour days, and can work any overtime he likes as long as he doesn't exceed 70 paid hours per week. He has had this same type of option at all call centers, now I'm not saying that they're ALL like that, but from what I've heard/understand, a lot of them allow you to work a lot of hours, at odd times of the day.

What are you, Mexi....um.....err...sorry. Scratch that. haha

So... the real question is.. who exactly do you owe money to so that you're that desperate to make some bucks? Fat Tony? Big Sam? The Don? Fess up, ya hooligan.

It's a lot of work I know. However, I think the extra cash and filling of time wouldn't be too bad. The way I see it, I only need 4 hours of sleep a day(That's the way it used to be, and it was good enough). So if I stay up for 20 hours a day, I can still get an adequate level of sleep(For me). So if I worked 16 hours for some days, I could handle it. I could handle more. Anyways, when it comes to retail jobs(Or any, "Normal" working class person job for that matter) there is obviously a problem with working 80 hours a week(They'd have to give you two times the amount of full time, that's too much overtime). So I'm going to get TWO jobs. Then comes the question: If I am going to do that, how would I go about getting both my schedules too accommodate each-other avoiding the need for overtime payment(Since they don't always allow that) and of course, not overlapping each other, I can't work two places at once. Because in retail jobs they often call you when they need you, but if I wanted to come up with a specific schedule so I can squeeze both jobs in, do you think I could do that? Or would I need to rise to the ranks of CHOOSING my own schedule? wemhim

**** that dude. I work two jobs, and during the summer I was working 70 hours a week. And I wanted to kill myself.

Mental note: Get down to one job before summer rolls around again.

Anyway, if I was working 80 hours a week, I think I'd have to kill myself.

And that's coming from someone who works 60 hours a week, and used to work 70 hours a week. So take that for what it's worth. Yeah, an extra 10 hours a week makes a big ****ing difference.

Don't let me dissuade you though. I don't know your situation, and only you can decide what is best for you.

Look at it this way, 60-80 hours a week is pretty standard for most business execs. Plus there's no guarentee you'll get a full 40 hours at either job. As for your schedule places are more flexible these days, especially because you'd be able to work virtually every shift. What I would do in that situation is set up an alternating schedule, so for company A you're available to work mornings on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, nights Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and vice versa for company B. It'll certainly eat up alot of your free time but it is by no means undoable.PBSnipes
