Working like a slave for 40 hours sounds insane. There are apparently people who work OVER 60 hours. That's insane...why would they choose something like that

Working part time is the best. Make just a little money to pay rent, food and hobbies. and that's it. You can enjoy life AND not be a slave to your job. Besides, no ones like working lol

Yes, and while they are at it, they should move to a country with better wage laws... oh wait.

Yeah working is only good for money

I would only work part time cause I cant work more than 20 hours. People who work 60 plus are a special type of crazy. Or they are forced to.

No ones like jobs or working. Thats why I didnt have a job for 10 years, collected so much welfare. But I LOVE my career at GameStop. Will be here till I retire at 65.

lmao @ working 60 hours a week well into old age, never seeing the sun because you're in an office building all day, paying other people to raise your kids for you, etc rather than just living with your parents until they die, inheriting the house, selling it, and then living off the profits till you die

Nope, 99% of people slave away at work. If you like it so much, would you work for free? Nope!

I worked a 40 hour job once, only got it thru connections. The moment I clocked in till 5 I dreamed of getting out, browsed the internet for 8 hours, played video games on my phone. I was Bored to death

If you don't buy expensive stuff. Part time for me is enough for rent, food and pays for expenses. That, plus still getting a GOOD amount of welfare helps out. You have to take opportunity by it's neck and GRAB it.

First of all, its not really nice money if you have to pay your rent and everything else by yourself. And second, its just boring

All work is boring. That's why it's work. Also, the point of a job is to have money to live. So, as long as I have rent paid, food on my plate, and a little money for hobbies, that's ALL that matters. I don't need money for ANYTHING. ELSE.

No it wouldn't. There would still be rare people that LOVE to work.

But 99% of people wouldn't care.

I wouldn't

And you have no proof that society would collapse. Embrace it.

People who work hard are just gonna get their money taken away by me and people who need it.

but that takes a lot of effort.

Don't you think there are people out there who actually enjoy their jobs instead of being miserable every second they spend in it?

I went to school for mechanical engineering, I realized in my second year, the year where you focus on your specific major and take the core classes, that I fucking loved it. I knew without a doubt mechanical engineering was my passion. I felt so fucking accomplished and fulfilled studying that shit and succeeding.

I graduated five years ago, I've been in three jobs, everything you learn in school is thrown into the fucking trash. You're no longer surrounded by hardworking, intelligent peers; you work with ordinary people. The work becomes so dry, monotonous, and soul crushing. Studying to become an automotive engineer? You're probably going to end up designing a fucking gasket or a tire tread in Catia day in and day out. The real world is absolutely miserable, it's where passion goes to die.

Speak for yourself. I have a wife and child, with another on the way. They rely on me and I need to provide for them. It's exceptional for me to able to do this. Seeing my sons eyes light up when something needs done, and I am able to do it, and I can see the pride in his eyes. My daddy did that. There's nothing like it.

If I were to cease to exist, I'd leave a massive hole in my family. That's what I'm talking about when I refer to significant. Leaving behind a legacy. The people I'm talking about won't have an impact, on... well, anyone. They exist to mooch.

Nothing in this topic should be taken at face value as TC is just craving attention.

That said, it's definitely possible to have no life working a 40 hour work week if you're too immature to create a schedule and piss away all of your spare time.

Haha. Grim but a good post.

This is obviously a troll topic, you can tell because of the way that it is.

Ive seen TCs non troll posts and hes a... ahem, I mean to say hes special. He brings up a valid point that working 50-60hrs blows but at the same time Im not sure what jobs there are that pay a living wage (like not pay check to paycheck and your quality of life isnt shit and slightly better than being homeless) at just 20 hours a week.

Welfare would be great but problem is it doesnt pay enough for rent. It pays enough that you can drink rubbing alcohol and sleep in the streets so its great if youre into that kinda thing, but problem is most people desire a bit more than that and thats often impossible unless you work 40+ hours a week, even at a poverty wage like $12/hr.
