Bald bloke is quite right, not all jobs are like this. I had a job once trunking Coalville to Wigan, trailer swap and back in 6 hrs. Take home about 280 per week, I had a job 9-5 driving a library van (12t) on 8.50 per hour. But all the jobs with nice hours are temp only and taken by a full timer, plus if you are ok with the wage drop, then go for it matey. I had assumed that you would be looking to match your current 35k per year. And to do that, you will need to put in the hours.
