How many hours do you work on average per week?  What do you do?  Do you like it?

I work an average of 20 hours a week. It varies a lot because I get to choose my own schedule. I am a substitute teacher and I love my job. Love it.

20ish

I work the floor at Kohls. Not a big fan of my job. The company is great to work for, but the lazy- attitude filled customers that treat you like crap are just becoming too frequent.

I work two nights a week at a grocery store which ends up totaling about 15 hours. I also go to school which essentially ends up being like a FT gig most weeks.

I like my job as a now job, but I wouldn't want to do it forever.

I own/operate a groomimg salon. Dh works with me when the kids are at school, but is @ home with them after school and weekends. I work about 45 hours outside the home, but also spend some hours at home doing."business", like bookkeeping and stuff. I LOVE what I do! I took a few years off grooming when my kids were small, I really missed it.

I work about 40-50 during a normal week. If it's inspection or exercise time the minimum we will work is 70 hours a week, could be more depending on how big the inspection/exercise is. I am military and a deployment manager for my squadron, so it can get pretty crazy up here! Overall, I absolutely love my job!! The ONLY downside is having to be away from dd during the 70+ hour weeks. She goes to visit her grandma in Texas during those times!
