55 hour work week? Over ten hours a day? What the actual fuck?

I mean technically, if you commute 90 minutes in a direction per day, along with a five-day 40-hour week, you spend 55 hours on work a week And while 90 minutes may be far fetched in most parts of europe hopefully, I kind of suspect it isn’t in the land of the free

Um, this is fairly normal in the US. Not saying it’s right or good, but, yes.

i knew someone in CC that did 12hr/day for 5-6days. not surprised he burned out of his major, and switched to a more “chill major”. never try to do full time work, while full time student, you just end doing really bad on most of your classes. the rent at the time was pretty reasonable for and lucky he even found one at a HCOL like under 1000/mon rent at the time
