I use to be a longshoreman and put in that much for 8 years.. no life, lose your girl, but good pay.. but it was causing health problems like insomnia and anxiety..

shyt was stressful when u have people called off.. there was times I would work 4am to 4pm , then had to be back at 3am sometimes. This was at long beach port..
The cargo and freight u unloading will wear u out, plus all type of shyt u would see. From dead animals to even drugs trying to get shipped in...

If you are 22 then go for it. Other than that move on to something else

lord knows all i do in my spare tim monday-thursday jis watch porn, post on the coli, play NBA2k15 and try to contact females. friday-sunday its the same shyt with football and my friends involved in between.

if you see light at the end of the tunnel by way of rraises, promotions and it's a career (not a dead end job) get on your grind breh. Now is the time to do it and build a foundation before you start getting kids, a wife and more responsibilities

Any brehs in here currently working that many hours?

Found a job that requires that much. I don't know if I should take it
I wouldn't do it if it was required, but I work OT like crazy.

I did 31 extra hours this week. 14 extra hours this week so far.

And aiming for 30.

Got to replenish my savings after fixing my transmission :mjcry:

I'm only doing this until I get promoted so I don't have too though :manny:

It's tiring but I work at a desk, office is 8 minutes away and I can work from home whenever I want so :ahh:

Yep. Couldnt do it for a living though, I'm not built for that life :wow:

I know a breh who does it.

He works for citibank. leaves home at 6am, doesnt come home til 1am. 5 days a week.

He says a 70-80hr workweek is normal. The times leading up to a deal he said he works 100-120hr weeks :mindblown:

His wife was bad too, and she was home all day until she found a job. We worked at the same job:steven:

couldnt do it tho:mjcry:. The demon told me yes, but 23 years old spitting on a marriage:omggay:, wasnt me breh

nope, made almost 15k that summer :blessed:

I got of light too, I had classmates that did 20 hour shifts on the reg. banking internships are probably the most competitive field in the world, kids have died from exhaustion.
def competitive. i've had two or three banking interviews my self butno luck. anything in the field of finance/accounting is competitive tho

If you're one of those people who needs plenty of leisure time, sightseeing, watching the news, coli browsing, well, then don't do it. It's definitely doable though. People acting like it's inhumane or some shyt. It's not, it can be a good fukking deal, provided you are getting payed overtime. One of my grandmas had a 60 hour workweek for like 15 years, all the while raising 3 kids as a divorced single mother. :wow: But in her case she did what she had to do, while you have options... you don't need to work that much if it's not conducive to your comfort.

Not worth the money imo.

This one chinese company had the nerves to ship computers over with a fukking tiger in the container chained up just in case somebody tries to steal the computers.. we had to call the zoo to come get this Motherfukker. Tiger was small but a nikka like me not taking a chance
