How many hours a week do you work?
 

The reason I ask is because I feel these days like all of my time is getting sucked away just from school and work, and there's no time left for me to just sit and relax, or go see a movie with the pals, or whatever. Then I see other people who work their asses off with a full time job, as a full time student, and don't seem to complain about it, so I wonder what the average is.

I was working 30 hours a week until recently, when I requested one more day per week off, so now it's 25. Then 12 hours at school, which, my professors tell me, is actually a 40 hour a week job in itself.

I work a full forty, sometimes less sometimes more depending. It's never off by more than an hour a two weekly, since my company pays for my education.

I am a fulltime student as well, although I should correct myself - this semester, I am not (due to some conflicts).

I have never put school before work - I just can't seem to get myself to think that way. I find work more productive and believe it or not, more educational than class. I have been working since I was 14 years old, so it's more a way of life to me.

I don't think I could go back to working part time, even with school. I would sooner sacrifice school over work. More practical, I guess. (And this goes for most jobs I've ever held. I just love working. I doubt I'm the norm, here.

I should mention that my education is a joke, though. It's nothing like a diehard dorm-living uni. There are a bunch of people my age there who live in their own places and are older than the usual college crowd. So I am abnormal across the board, I guess. ;_;

I have to maintain at least a 35 hour average, or I lose my benefits, so I'm usually in the 35-38 range.

I have been a full time student, though not this semester (one class got removed from my schedule due to some problems I had with the university and could not resolve in time). I've been working 25 hours a week on top of that. I have been kind of in the same attitude as Sass, for some reason. I sleep through class every once in a while and miss some to finish other stuff, but I never sleep through work or miss a shift or even show up late. I don't know why I'm that way, but I am. I do often feel pretty tired, and sleep through some classes like I said before. I'm sure if I strived to do very well in school, I'd have little free time.

I am a full time student with no work...:( Which is kinda bad since I just bought a $1 000 computer.... :(

Next term, I will be working around 10 hours a week, and for one week in March, I will have a job and will make about $500 in four days. That should help pay for my computer.

I work 8 hours every second week. the other one, I work 16. Being a student, this is the maximum I can give

When I was still going to school, I was also working 15 hours a week.

I'm out of school now and working 35hrs/week.

Yup... 40-hour a week job, started back in July, and should continue until I'm ready for grad school or something (maybe next year?).

When I was in school, I did 40-hour week jobs as well during my winter and summer breaks. I haven't been jobless since my sophomore year of high school, but I didn't work during semesters usually. The few times I did, it was on my off days from class, so 1 or 2 8-hour days a week. :/

My actual work time is about 37.50 hours per week at my job, followed by 6 hours of night school in a week as well, coming to a total of 43.50 hours, excluding studying time, commuting time etc. My "booked up" nights (meaning I have either a group meeting or night classes) are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights, leaving Monday and Friday night for me to get my stuff in order. Most weekends are pretty free, besides 2 hours vacuuming on a Saturday, and 3 hours to Church and lunch on Sunday, surprisingly enough. Interestingly enough, if I can budget my time and maximize my lunch hours studying, I can find time to play video games (read FFXII) for maybe 1 hour everynight. This way I might actually get all my hunts done, 1 a night. Man that's so nerdy. If not video games, then it's watching animu. I added that tad bit of information just in case you'd like to know how much time I allocate to fun things as well.

I bank 40 hours a week. I hope to find a decent part time job or two as I'm resuming college in January. Problem is that there is nothing but seasonal employment decking the halls right now so I have to wait this out a little.

I also have to maintain an average, but of 37. I generally work somewhere between 37 and 38 hours. Never one for doing overtime at work.

Don't work at all and full time student ;)

I have enough trouble managing my time with 3 pitiful classes. A job would wreck me. I know, I'm sad.

I am currently working part-time. I work two, 3 hour shifts consecutively Monday-Friday but most nights leave early just because. Prior to this I worked 45 hours weekly for seven years. I'm hoping to get more hours or a second part-time job in the soonish future but for the meanwhile I don't miss my old burnt out routine at all.

I'm taking time away from university right now but I plan on returning to pick up on my philosophy studies.

Since it's the winter hours, my hours have been fluxuating between 42-47 hours a week working 6 days.

And no schoolling of any sort, I dont see how I could succeed at both if that were the case.

Definitely over 40. I have one full-time job that requires a full 40 hours a week, and another part-time that takes up a good 25-30. No student time for me!

I'm lucky to get away with under 50 hours of work a week. I'm also a full-time student working toward my MBA. My life right now is pretty much, wake up, go to work, go to school, do schoolwork, sleep, repeat. Yes, sometimes I do wonder if it is worth it. Fortunately I'm getting a free ride through school though my company, unfortunately they are making sure they get their money's worth out of me.

Being a full-time student, I manage to put in a hard zero hours per week of labor.

I work part-time as part of the database management branch of the financial bureaucracy wing of the Jackson School of Geosciences. I only work on average 15 hours there each week after classes.

It's a rather mild job, but the projects are fascinating at times and the results benefit the entire workforce.

I've been out of school for over 5 years now, and working 40+ hours per week for 4 years. When I was in school, I had a work-study job with the university that took about 16 hours a week, and I also worked in a shoe store (freshman year) and pharmacy (rest of college) about 20 hours a week.

I'm full time medical student spending 40++++ hrs/wk in my teenage life at hospital T-T (in fact 7am-6pm everyday + 7am-10pm when I'm on service which is 3 days once + venepuncture service at 5.30 am once a week "+ no weekend or holidays" ) *sigh*
Anyone feel sorry for me?,lol.;)

I work full-time, 37.5 hours a week. I also do a fairly pointless 3 hours or so in the pub but that's hardly working.

40 hours seems long for a full time working week, are you including lunchbreaks in that? The EU working time directive makes it illegal for anyone over here to do more than 45 hours in a week unless you opt out of it first. My mate who's head chef in a resaurant often does 100+ hour weeks but then he also gets paid a fuckign fortune.

I work anywhere from 35-37 hours a week, plus go to school about 2 hours every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Starting next week, if my boss remembers, I'll be getting an hour cut to hopefully around 25 hours. (lol she never remembers anything though) It's hard to keep up with homework and tests for TWO classes with work. T_T Plus I have no time for FFXII. Woe.

I am working 40 hours a week right now as a Co-op. Basically, I work with a company for two non-back to back semesters and finish my undergraduate education as well. I will be taking 17 hours this spring, and possibly working part time on campus or at a research center.

I just have a simple data entry job through my school. I normally get in about 18 hours in a given week so it's a pretty decent job for my situation. I like my co-workers and I get plenty of time to goof off on the net.

We're entitled to a 30 minute lunch after six hours of work in the US though we can also produce a written agreement with employers to forgo a lunch if we so desire.

But 40 hours is the 'typical' US work week 8am-5pm Monday-Friday with an hour lunch. However, a 50+ hour work week is actually more normal for your typical person on salary than a 40 hour work week these days in the US. Plus even then a lot of people bring their work home on top of that 50+ hours. There are also no laws here which set a maximum amount of time a person can work over here.

I'm full time employee. I basically work 40+ hours a week but I also count in the time it takes me to get to work... I have a 40min drive to work so in reality i work about 47.5hours a week b/c that damn trip thru traffic and such..

I am a full-time college student as well as working 30 hours at my job plus an extra 5 at the college for work-study. So I don't have a tremendous amount of free time at least for now. Next semester is a little uncertain.

I'm a full time college student and I work week-ends. It's fine up until exam time and then... panic stations. Plus I think I have clinicals after Christmas (dental student) so it looks like goodbye to the job.

I used to be a full time student (17 credits a semester) and a parttime worker (24 hours a week) like 3 days working 8 hour shifts.
The idiot director was a cunt, I tried negotiating the hours I could work but it all led up to the hours that were available. But, thank goodness I do not work at that shit hole anymore. God, How I wish I can burn that place down with the cunt in it. Fucking cunt.

I work at least 40 hours a week (normally) and well some overtime here and there most especially when I'm the one assigned as the on-call investigator for the week. Usually on-call ends the earliest at 10pm.... while the latest is at 4am...

College graduate.

I work 40+ hours a week.

I'm working a/b 32-35 hours a week in addition to being in college full time. I'm able to manage it without a whole bunch of frustration. This may be partly because at the moment, I'm currently caught up on all my readings so I still manage to have a personal life. All in all, it's very enjoyable.

I voted 20-30 Full Time Student cause that's how much i work in a week, but i am actually only a part time student. There was no part time option, so whatever.

Yeah, even this is too much for me, partially because of all of the outside comitments i keep making. I'm thinking of taking the year off from school next year, just so i can finally taste what's it's like to actually have extensive free time.

After that, i plan on taking music full time. That's gonna be a riot if i decide to keep my job.

work work work
 

I'm a student, and I don't HAVE TO work, or do I?

full time student I only work 14 hours a week...only on weekends....

Pent up anger much?



I work about 12-18 hours a week at my job, and I'm a full time student. Actually this semester I'm on the low end of full time since I'm only taking 11 CRs, but this winter semester I'm taking a full 14. Kind of sucks that my tuition is going to run me $2800 though. (fees + 300 level class tuition hikes = pain) :(
Can I get a mo'fuggin scholarship plz?

37.5 hours on the button... well, give or take a little here and there. If I do any overtime obviously that can go up to anything, but I don't do that much overtime with my job.

Full time student, work 11-18 hours per week on average. How much I work depends on the semester because my classes have to end early in the day to make work practical. Next semester that will surely drop because of a 17cr course load and a crappy schedule to work around.

60 hours at a company dealing with chemicals

zero hour per week





no job

...:cow:

Full time student. It depends, but mostly 35 hours a week.

I'm currently working between 10 and 20 hours a week + 25 hours of schooll. Then again, I wish I had more free time.

I work 42.5 hours a week yelling at code from 1982 and trying to fix problems with it (debugger at a health care software company). Fun times...

I work probably about 45 hours a week. I'm on salary, so I like to keep that down and just get my job done as fast as possible.

I'm a full time uni student and I work between 10-15 hours a week. Not alot I know but it takes a lot of reading and researching time up. I wish i could study and not work but I need the money to pay for food and bus fare :(

I am a full time student and I get about 26-29 average hours per week. I pretty much work those hours because I have a pretty flexible schedule with my school. It can get rough at times though.

32-40 hours a week + OT (depending). Security Guard right now, but it's fun times. I got paid yesterday to sit and read a couple of Maxims for 8 hours :tpg: I'll eventually start my CCNA career this coming summer.

Not in college at the moment, and I work anywhere from 38-40 hours a week, full time. Though I will be going back to school, but hopefully keep around the same hours.

10-20 hrs + full time student for me. I'm a 4th year and my university.

I work 12 to 16 hours a week as a landscaper/chemical applicator, and take 16-20 credit hours as an engineering student. It has been three long years of getting about five hours of sleep a night, if any, but I've only got one year left.

For a semester last year I was taking 18 credits and working 20 hours a week, and those credits were all math/engineering. It was horrible, I was sick much of the time from not sleeping at all and pretty much hated life. It was totally not worth it.

I for one am looking forward to being done and having a job that ends at 5:00. Or 8:00. Just so long as it ends at some point and lets me go home to rest.

I'm a full time student, 17 credits, but I don't have a job - so < 10 hours, but technically zero hours of work.

This semester I'm going to school for 9 hours a week and work 37 hours a week. In the past I have always done 20 to 25 hours of work along with being a full time student.

I find that this semester, my last semester, is the toughest one of them all. Balancing the two is really tough. The fact that I have to wake up at 5:30 in the morning and sometimes having to stay up past 12/1 a.m. to study, really does it. My hours of sleep is cut short and having to go to work the next morning is a drag. I'm always so sleepy. I can't wait to get my 7 hours of sleep back after i graduate.

I cram all my classes into two days, and spread 25 hours of work a week over the remaining five days. Before work? Homework. After work? Homework. After school? Homework. I have no life right now. Boo. I had a lighter homework load earlier in the year, but now classes are due to wrap up within a few weeks, and we're all prepping for finals.

Recently gots myself a job (after complaints from family and soon enough the infection spread to friends) and i'm working 16 hours a week and i'm a full time student. It's not too bad, but it's a bitch trying to keep up with some work since I keep leaving it until the weekend when I do have free periods during College to actually do some work.

I work solid 40 hour weeks, pretty much back to back since I started working back in early February (during the Super Bowl no less!).

Damn I'm used to it now, but I haven't had less than a five day workweek since I started... Good thing I'm union, otherwise my position probably wouldn't give me any away time; being a supermarket grunt as it is right now.

I'll get to school when I get the time (and money), but for now I'll build a nest egg.
