would you work 60-70 hours a week six days a week for over $100,000 a year, if of course you loved the job?

If I loved the job, sure.  60-70 hours isn't that bad, and if the I really loved the job, then the pay wouldn't really matter either.  I'd want to be learning quite a bit, though, so that eventually, I could leave this job and move on to something more relaxing.

OK, I currently make a little under $100,000.00 a year.  I live in a 3000 sq ft home.  I have two cars, one of which is a Mercedes.  I have quite a bit of money in the bank and a rather tidy stock portfolio.  I have all the toys I could wish for and then some including a home theater projection system, high-speed internet access and a stereo system that can wake the dead.  If I lost my job today, I wouldn't have to worry for at least 2 years and could maintain my current lifestyle.  Or I could liquidate everyting and probably never have to work again at all though it would be of a necessarily lesser lifestyle.\n\nIt wasn't always that way.\n\nIn 1977, I earned less than $5,000.00 per year.  I supported a wife and son in a tiny garage apartment with nasty furniture.  We drove a 12 year old junker of a car that burned more oil than gas.  We had a tiny black & white TV that picked up two stations.  We didn't have a telephone or cable TV.  We ate lots of boxed mac & cheese (10 cents at Winn-Dixie) and cheap hot dogs.  If I lost my job back then, we would have been on the streets within 2 weeks, probably "living" in that old Dodge Dart.\n\nOwing to lots of hard work and sacrifice, I got from the "there and then" to the "here and now."\n\nI consider my reality to be much more valid than OJ's.  My guess is that he put on a bunch of weight and that the glove failed to fit as a result.  His money was a contributing factor, but not the primary one.

Depends where you live and the average pay for the area. Do you mean in a band, or solo? If you're good, you could easily make $100.00 per hour. It's your call when it comes to how much weekly, as you would choose how much you would play during the week.

...it's all relative...to someone who's making $500/week, $60K ($5000/mo) is high!  to someone who needs to make over $100K just to keep up their house payments and live (like here in Los Angeles)...$60K is low.\n\nso it depends on what you are doing for your money, and where you are geographically

$35 per day or $150 if paid by the week

Hi! It depends on the company you work for, but I'd say if you are really good you can expect a salary around the 60.000 or more depending on your gereat awesome skills! Bye!

It depends on the raise schedule.  If you can get raises then yes I would go for it.  It all depends on if you want to negotiate on the pay.

It depends on the job. When I was working I worked from 8 to 14 hours a day and from 40 to 100 hours a weeks.\n\nI enjoyed my job so the number of hours I worked really didn't matter.

the guy above is almost right the 44 hour work week is a bit off though i have friends in Alberta working 70 or more a week multiply that by $20 hour and over time you got a pretty good pay check. i work in the woods as a operator and a normal work week is 70 hours, but flipping burgers or in a store it will most likely be 38 to 44 hours.

I've done the same and was glad I did. Your  work life is a huge chunk of your week. Better to be in something you love than in something you would not be as happy with. Money is only money. Happiness can't be bought.

No, then working as a hit man would be the ideal job. The most important thing is to find a job you enjoy doing so you aren't bored. I worked 25 years for the same employer because I enjoyed it. We had to move and I have put in another 9 years in the same field and I plan to work into my 70s because I like what I am doing. I could have made more money but I would have had ulcers and the stress of unhappiness on my body doing something I didn't enjoy.

I used to be trapped in a cube 50-60 hours a week, stuck behind an endless pile of paper.  Had a supervisor that couldn't care less to say "nice job" to a soul in the building.  I was miserable and struggling to make it paycheck to paycheck.  \n\nLast year I made a decision not to live like that anymore.  I took a course.  Now, I am certified equine sports massage therapist.  Monday I will add canine massage as well.  I work for myself, set my own schedule, make great $$$, and help alleviate suffering in animals.\n\nI only have to work 6-7 hours to make my take home pay from my old job.

I am in accounting. I work for a small company with about 150 employees. There are only 4 of us in the office. I make approx. $50.000 per year. I love my job. It is close to home, school, doctors, dentist, etc.... Being that I have kids I need time off for plays, conferences, etc... They always let me leave and understand that my family is important to me. I work 8-4 with no overtime, no weekends. I get 3 weeks vacation and the usual holidays.

Yes, I would go. I love my job, but I would retire when my boss could replace me! My new career would be to enjoy life!
