Are we working ourselvs to death?

Do you have 2 full time jobs?

  • I work 2 full time jobs to get ahead.
  • I work 2 full time jobs to make ends meet.
  • one 8 hour job is more than enough.

Just out of curiosity, how many people in ILP have two full time jobs?

Perhaps it’s just by pure chance, but more and more people seem to be working 2 jobs out of necesity.

I would never (hopefully not famous last words) work two jobs out of necessity.

Having said that, I might work two jobs out of greed, or the need to escape…

I work between 2 and 7 hours a day, depending on my schedule for a total of around 24 hrs/week. I make (in total after tax) about a billion and a half a month.

I get by…

You left out an option. I have to work 50+ hours a week at one job to make it.

I have one job, and work less than five years ago, for an income drop of about 25 %. Good deal for me.

option E…

slave at 3 jobs just to pay fucking taxes

:astonished: Wait a moment, a billion and a half of what currency?

[Ahem] Sorry - er didn’t catch the question… What…? :blush:

HELL(O) F(R)IEND(S)

You know you’ve made it when they take more from taxes than you receive. 52%… fucking ridiculous!
Flat tax all around… why should I pay more and pay a higher percentage?

I don’t fit into any of those categories.

What about us guys that have one job that eats up 10-13 hours a day?

One job, about fifty-ish hours per week, although that will probably go up a bit. I’m about 80% likely to run the kitchen of a new restaurant being opened by my employer in a month or so- I’m just waiting to see the details and decide if I wanna do it. Then all bets are off where hours are concerned. :wink:

I have three jobs. I play piano at a jazz club on the weekends, teach piano during weeknights, and I write. I compose/arrange most of the music for my students and just finished a novel a year ago, which is the reason for ocd-editing here at ILP. Addictions die hard.

I am a graphic artist, but fell into music to support my 20 year old daughter who bleeds me dry. :wink: I just finished putting her four older bros through college…

I kid a lot about being a pampered suburbanite - but I work. Believe me, I work

Ah ha! So how much is that in real money then, Tab?

:cry: About 600 of our lovely British quids.

Doesn’t sound like much - but its a King’s ransom over here… Well, minor prince’s perhaps.

Just means I can never go back to England - I’d be a pauper, the homeless would be giving me money… :astonished:

Anyway - just starting a 4-month paid holiday (that’s right 4 MONTHS PAID) So…

Yah-boo-sucks to everyone!!! :smiley:

Well yeah, it is not just about how much you make, but how much you make WHERE. If you can live well on a haypenny then the living well is all that matters.

What sort of work do you do? I am going to guess that you are a salesman. Have you accumulated that much vacation time over the course of several years?

My guess he’s a teacher…

A

beats 600 lovely British coconuts
