I wouldn't wish 16 hour days on anyone. Did a string of them back when I was younger, 12 in a row actually. Was working security. The money was amazing, but it tests your mental stability. And yes, my boss did get fired after that since its illegal to work someone that much.

Luckily this was around the time of Jumbo video/Blockbuster so I rented out a ton of movies/games to play while working there. I guarded a service tower a few miles from the city during the winter, behind a closed gate. The only thing I had to have was my car running the entire night to power my laptop, but I made a decent chunk of change from it so gas was change in comparison.

Great gig, hate that I lost it shortly after, due to me falling asleep on the job and being caught by the owner of the building showing up. But luckily I managed to keep my overall job due to me being the only one that actually showed up to work. Turns out every other security worker just locked the building up and went home to collect a paycheck for doing nothing. And before someone comments, I did do my rounds. It's just that since everything was locked up, those rounds only took about 5 minutes every hour. Wish I could go back and work that again, but the company got a lot of bad press and has since been absorbed by a much stricter company.
