Would you rather.....

[neebelung]

If you had to choose, and if all else were equal (money, benefits, etc...) would you rather....

Work 20 hours a week at a job you hated (just disliked the work, doesn't mean it's morally objectionable or anything)

or

Work 60 hours a week at a job you loved?


Which would you choose and WHY?

this is a no brainer, it's what i'm doing now.
60 hours doing something you love is 1000000x better than working any amount of time at a job you hate.

if i started a job and didn't like it, i would only be there long enough to find something different.

Wow that's a tough one...depends on the actual job. It depends on what I hate about the job...if it was high stress and I got pizzed all of the time that wouldn't be good at all so I'd have to pass.

I don't want to work 60 hours but if it was something like interviewing girls for "positions" at a strip club or judging wet T-shirt contests or driving exotic cars and or bikes or something well you know...

Depends on what it pays... I'd clean toilets for 60 hours a week if I made $500/hour. But to answer your question, 60 hours a week doing something I love is better than working 20 hours a week doing something I hate.

I am doing that between the two jobs I have now. Love them... Hate a couple of the people that I work with but love what I am doing...

20 hours, because I rather be at home than at work.

It would depend on the shifts. If I could do the one I hate for two 10 hour days Id probably choose that because then Im makin the same money and still have 5 days off a week. If it was broken up into like five 4 hour shifts where I had to be there that many times a week Id choose the 60 hour one that I love.

I'm the same way. 20 hours a week is only 4 hours a day (or as someone else suggested, maybe 2 10's)... so that leaves the bulk of one's time free to pursue whatever else it is they love, whether it's hobbies, another job that's more rewarding, volunteer work or whatever.

60 hours doing what I love hands down. Not that I won't work 20 hours doing something I hate... in Michigan you have to take what you can get... but I would prefer the 60 doing what I love.
