      i knew someone in CC that did 12hr/day for 5-6days a long time ago. not surprised he burned out of his major, and switched to a more “chill major”, because your own job overtook your time from studying. never try to do full time work, while full time student, you just end doing really bad on most of your classes. the rent at the time was pretty reasonable for and lucky he even found one at a HCOL like under 1000/mon rent at the time. he was trying to save for an expensive grad school in the future, but had a “eiphany’ and 180 his career choices, to a 'Easier” but questionable job market job(degree)

      I mean technically, if you commute 90 minutes in a direction per day, along with a five-day 40-hour week, you spend 55 hours on work a week

      And while 90 minutes may be far fetched in most parts of europe hopefully, I kind of suspect it isn’t in the land of the free

        Dude I once worked two jobs on alternating days of the week on cities 45 miles in opposite directions. You have no idea how embarrassing it is to drive to work and then realize you’re in the wrong parking lot when you get to work after a 90 minute drive because traffic sucks.

        Dammit now I need some fried food

      I used to work nearly 100 hours a week in my early 20s. It was going to kill me for sure, but 50-60 hours a week isn’t uncommon sadly
