Although, if work was racing a motorcycle or something killer like that, I would rather be at work. If it was just a normal job that I loved and not some sort of fantasy gig, I would want the 20 hour hate one.

point there... if working 20 hrs paid the same as 60 hrs at the other, I may be inclined to suffer it out.

im goin for the 20, with Trip and Nee.

I learned a loooong time ago that a job is just a job. It brings in money to survive, but your job isnt your life, if you lost it tomorrow youd find another, if you died 2 weeks from now theyd replace you. There is too much else out there to worry about a JOB.

If it was something i wanted to do, like racing or something, then it really wouldnt be something I considered a job. I would be getting a check for something I loved and it wouldnt even be work to me.

See, I took that as both jobs paid the same, like $10/hr

Hell yeah, then if i could get by only working 20 hours that would be PIMP!!

60 hours doing something you love is 1000000x better than working any amount of time at a job you hate.

if i started a job and didn't like it, i would only be there long enough to find something different.
Same.

when I love my job I tend to be a work aholic... and seeing as I work 50-70 hours a week anyways... and I hate my job... I'd work 60 with one I love no problem.

but 20hrs a week is what 2 hrs a day? the only problem I see with that is I'd fuck'n be broke all the time spending all that time riding or someother activity that costs $... stressing me out further.

60hrs a week hands down... now to find a job I'd actually LOVE...

I'm with these fucks... Less work, more play... afterall, that's the only reason I work anyway... to get done and go play.

Plus, with 20 hours a week, I could get another 20 hour a week part-time gig and make even MORE money.
