Exactly. If you are working hard and making $ (either for you or your company) that's good. If you are working that hard just to stay afloat without any benefit than that's not good at all.

Welcome to my last summer. I worked job a from 7-3, job b from 4-10 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Wednesday I worked Job A 7-3 then had class 5-830. and saturday and sunday I worked job b 6a-4p. I burnt myself out and quit the second job about 4 months into that and never went back. It wasnt worth the money I was making there at that point, it was just extra money for the car. You can only go so long before you wear yourself too thin.

i worked like that right out of high school just to make sure i never had to ask my dad for a dime. i ended up working at that place for a little over a year and i had enough in the bank to buy a new car, although i never did.
i ended up with so much in the bank because i was so exhausted after working that i never did anything and my paychecks just started to add up. i think i was making $8/hr, and back then that was a decent wage especially with 8 hours of OT per day. it would be equivalent to about 20/hr today plus the overtime. not millionairish, but not the poor house either. and when you have nothing to spend it on, it just collects in the bank.
makes me wish i was back there now, with the knowledge i have today. certain stocks to buy, land to buy, businesses to invest in...

Yeah, I work from the moment I get up til the moment I go to sleep. obviously not all of it is paid. I get up, check my emails, answer any stupid questions there may be, make a few phone calls, take a shower, leave for the office, work til 8 or 9 either there or back at home, then try to do some of my own business stuff from about 10 til 2 or so. I'm barely staying afloat, and that's why a lot of people wonder why I don't show up anywhere. I either cant afford it, or don't have the time. Hell, even the only time I see my other half we're working or recovering from work. It sucks a lot, hopefully one day will pay off, but until then, I am multiple thousands in debt, just from business start up costs, bills, etc.

true, i am still working, but on this job the 90 hour work week isnt justified by the (very few) benjamins that come home with me at weeks end. ughh... well, i plan on coming down on sunday to Josh's meet at his shop. at least then ill get to drive the iroc! lol

oh, and i would drive it. everyday if i drove to work, but i work in nyc and take the bus, NO WAY the iroc goes into the city...too much invested in it for some dumb ass cabbie to smash it up and i certtainly wouldnt leave it parked on the street or at some parking lot with a guy who barely speaks coherent english.
