It really depends on the type of work. I know people who work 80/90 hour weeks but they also work a lot of overtime and get a ton of bonuses even in salary work. Especially those in commercial pipe installation. At the same time, you really have to watch out for yourself. If your doing it in retail, don't do it for extensive periods of time unless your really saving for something. You'll just exhaust yourself.

The longest I've ever worked in one string of shifts minus a single day off was 29/30 days straight. I was working twelves 16 hour shifts, 1 day off, and then the rest in 12 hour shifts. Such is the life of a security guard with a boss who doesn't understand that its illegal where I live to work that many hours. The money was good, but I would never go back and do that again.
