How many people here work a 9-5?

If so, what kind job do you have? I work an Office Job for the summer working 9-5, been assigned to make a presentation giving an overview of the company. Boring. Just wanted to know how many other Gamespotters have to suffer through the 9-5's like I.

I work part time in a supermarket, so my hours vary. Usually I work 5-10 on a weekday, and 1-10 on a Saturday.SolidSnake35

IF you consider working hard suffering then you have alot to learn about life and yourself.

I work 10pm to 6:30 am, and I work hard. Why? because it I have responsabilities for myself and my family.

You're NOT entitled to life, you have to earn it.

For those people who have life handed to them and think they are living because everything is provided without any effort by themselves.. they will grow up misserable and never appreciate life.

What kind of job do you have working at night? Do you get to see your family, or do you sleep all day?

summer intern/help for ahedge fund company, just doing random office work from scanning, to working on some legal stuff, except i work from 8-5 everyday, and with about a 45 minute drive both ways im looking at about an 11 hour work day!!, i dont care, the money is great and i get to chill out here most of the day, it is funny that my summers are way more busy than the actual school yearg-unit248

Hedge funds don't usually hire summer interns because they do everything to keep costs low... (and a college student with no advanced financial knowledge or expertise is a waste of money) Good for you for being able to get a job at a hedge fund. It would definitely be a exciting place to work at... of course, the returns of hedge funds are more and more starting to look identical to those of mutual funds... and heavier regulation might further hurt the gains made by hedge funds...

Of course, the hot thing right now is private equity funds!! (although, that might change within the next decade or so)

Um...wow, I completely disagree with your statement.

First off, never did I say that working hard was suffering. Sure I said it can be boring, but something being boring is quite different from saying that I'm suffering because I have to work.

I work 8-5 to make enough money to go to school, so I have responsibilities myself. So don't lecture me on having responsibilities, I know what that's all about.

You ARE entitled to life, you DON'T have to earn it. Every single person on this planet is entitled to live the life they want to live, some people might not agree with their lifestyle etc...but that in no way means that aren't entitled to have it. I completely loathe the 8-5 work week, that's not living. Living is the time you get off work till the time you have to go back. And if I can find a way to live life and have to work a minimum, then by god that is what I will do. You only live once so why would I want to spend half of my life working?

As far as people being handed things, more power to them. I consider them lucky that they don't have to work. Again working does not = living. Everything you do outside of work is who you are as a person, work is quite often something that just must be done, and if these people don't have to work to get by, why should that make them miserable and unable to appreciate life. Personally I think they will have much more time to observe and apppreciate life's beauty.

Alright I am now finished my rant.
