    35-40. My new work gives me such a healthy balance of activities and incentives to work, as well as a home day. My previous work it was closer to 30, with summers off (unpaid). I needed the downtime to recover mentally. The home day does that for me and now I get paid all summer.

    I think it depends on the environment.

        A lot of 9 to 5 jobs are pretty terrible. The worst work I ever had was behind a computer all day (reservations type of gig). It was incredibly mind numbing.

            “I think it depends on the environment”.

            I like the job I’m doing now at 40 hours. I would not want to do that mind numbing job at 40 hours.

            The context is important.

        Monotony and lack of flexible time off. A job that you don’t mind and can still prioritize important life stuff works just fine for me
