Working 5-10pm Mon-Friday is more than enough for this job. If I had a job I loved though I'd happy to 12 hour shifts. Reckon the idea of too much work is maybe a mental thing.

I'd never survive doing more than 40 hours a week. There's too much fun stuff to get through. I mean I love my job but I need to live my life too.

I only really know one guy who works in finance and while he is loaded he's a complete mess. We're the same age but put us side by side and he looks about ten years older than me.

I look at his £100k+ a year and then look at him and think nah, it ain't worth it. Would be rubbish at anything financial/managerial anyway.

I'm in most days before 7.30am and after my last appointment I'm usually home by 8pm.

Im an accountant and my hours arent too bad - generally in work for 8am and leave by 6. Only a 20 minute drive home too which helps. Occasionally i do 70 hours weeks but get paid overtime so dont mind as its not a regular thing. The whole stupid hour thing is whats putting me off working in London atm, but i know it will happen one day......

As opposed to us teachers, who get all of the time to enjoy things before it is too late (holidays) but not enough money to really enoy them?

I tend to do 11-12 hour days, plus weekend fixtures and a a couple more hours at the weekend on the website. Plus I tend to work for most of the school holidays too. I get pretty well for a teacher at my level though, plus I enjoy the job.

i do about 35-40 hrs a week and thats enough for me.

i even changed job description from a dentist to a dental ceramist and even though its less money, its more rewarding for myself.

im not earning a huge amount of money, but i never wanted to, i just want to have a life balance, and enjoy my work, if i was otherwise ill be working long hrs and chargi9nfg patients lots of money but its just not me.

Meh at least we dont have to pay stupid money to go on holiday. September holidays ftw :p

Leave home at 6.50am, work 8.30am - 6pm, home at 7.15pm. And get paid peanuts. Tbf, they get what they pay for though I do the bare minimum of work and spend most my day on the internet
