I'd work an average of 12 hours/week -- 3 8s or 2 12s every other weekend.

If i only had to work 8 hrs a week to make ends meet , i would personally die! hahaha i am so accustomed to working those 50-60 hr weeks, that i don't know if i would be able to handle just working 8!

I have a bad habit, I must confess, I am addicted to Caribbean Cruises, so In order to enduldge in Cruising , I have to work & keep saving for those elaborate cruise vacations!

Hense my upcoming venture; Off work March 4th until April 7th, (all paid with vacation time banked) we are doing 2 back to back cruises; 27 days in the Caribbean, Island Hoping, the boys are 16 & 18 , so now is the perfect time to get out & see more of the world!

We did our last cruise in 2005; 21 days! and let me tell you , if you want to recharge your batteries after years of hard work, raising kids, maintaining a house, the Caribbean will recharge you in no time at all (7-14 days is recommended)......

So i guess i am young, only 37 & I have been working in Nursing since i was 19/20 yr old!

A nice caribbean break is always a good thing!

Work as much as you need to but remember to take the time to Recharge your battery every couple of years!

I am semi retired. I work 4 eight hour shifts per week. I would not be able to stand being home all the time. I plan to work as long as I can.

Probably at least 36 as I do now because I would be easily bored! Plus, it would be nice to have some extra cash, especially in this economy.

I am a new 44 yr old nurse and I do four 8hr night shifts a week with everyother weekend. It is hard to do 3nts in a row so hope to be able to schedule myself that way. That may help.

I'd work at least 32. Oh, just the thought of frivolously spending all the extra money, going out to eat and leaving huge tips, paying for a strangers gas at the gas station, etc., etc. Please, where do I sign up ?

I'd probably work 3 8s instead of the 3 12s I do now. I love my job, but it can get exhausting.

I'd work up to 24 hours. You never know when you'll need to work more than 8 hours to make ends meet.
