I'm curious about how many hours people here who have full-time jobs work, on average, each week...

I'm fortunate that I can stay to a regular (~40 hours/week) work schedule, but I keep hearing about people who regularly put in long hours in their jobs. Yet, I still see plenty of cars in the driveways in my neighborhood when I show up at home at 6 - 6:30 at night, so not everyone is working long hours, are they?

My regular job has me for 40 hours a week, sometimes a few hours of OT here and there. During the winter I put in anywhere from 15-25 additional hours at my part time job.

40-50 per week, but I have the benny of having a decent amount of leeway as to when I come and go.

I'm on a 40 hr schedule. However, time spent actually working struggles to approach one hour at best.

40-50, the occasional 70 hr week. Salary is based on 37.5.

Of course I probably only "work" about 37.5 hrs of that 40-50 ;)

I work about 40, but I have a long commute and starting to look for work closer to home. I leave the house at 6:30 am and get back at 6 pm.

I have 29 hours of scheduled patient time a week and then another 5 or so hours of administrative duties, and then 3 hours a week of teaching.

I have a part time job. That fluctuates from 5-74 hours a week. Fewest ev er was 5, and 72 was this past Presidents week, while still going to school full time.....

I usually average 30-40 though.
