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.

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

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.

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.
