It sucked.  Older people always says kids will like capitalism once they get their first real job. I don't buy it, especially when there are countries with only 35 hour work weeks that are considered full time. Fuck  this country's obsession with working yourself to death.

Well shit, nobody has made them eat their words harder than me.

Do you live in the US? Full Time in the US can go as low as 32 hours. I've worked a wide range of weekly hours from three days with 36 hours to six days with 55 hours with a lot of variety in between and I fucking love capitalism.

I will admit though, a Nat 40 is fucking awful. 30 a week with five six hour days is much more preferable to me.

>30=health insurance, so I consider that full time.

32* because that's what the law states so....

I started working 37 hour weeks in high school, and I'm probably going to work 40 hour weeks in college.

What kind of work are you doing? I work 10.5 hour days so that I have 3 days off in a row. It sucks too, but it's worth it.

I work for painting at my college over the summer. It's pretty brain dead work. But it's from 7am to 3:30pm with two half hour breaks. It's a 40 hour work week at minimum wage so there's that I guess. Everyone kept congratulating me like it was done kind of huge achievement. Like yay I get to work

lol well you know getting a job is supposed to be a huge milestone for young adults, but it's really like congrats haha you have to work now.

Fuck that.

I don't work full time for less than $10/h
If someone has valued my labor at minimum wage then they obviously don't need it full time.

Tell me about it. But it was either a guaranteed job away from my mother, or risking not finding anything at home again and dealing with her fits

Get a job you actually like doing, you'll probably get less hours and more pay.

Don't fall for the Cubicle Meme.

But that's an even worse meme.

He right tho. S'why I'm finna to move to non crime ridden Berlin and work at Studio Olafur Eliasson

Or be a male prostitute

Holy shit, six more minutes and I can leave.

If you do what you love the money will come later. As you get to your professional career, your pay is determined more on what you'll make in a year over how much you work in a week.

But that's an even worse meme.
