we won’t get in to the money side as that seems to vary so much up and down the country - let’s just assume the money is an amount that is OK
so - how many hours a week are you prepared to do?
48 average innit 
48 hours at work, or paid? 
Seventy hours week is max I would want to do, but 60 hours gives the quality of life I would want. Screw the numpties in Brussels and their stupid working week limits.

These are the same thing…
Daft question really. Everyone is different. Ive done jobs before doing 70ish a week . Im now contracted to 37.5 so that suits me fine.As most people on here say to make a good living you shouldnt have to do 50/60/70 hours a week regular.
40
45-50 hours maximum. We shouldn’t be doing anymore than that unless tramping.

So you think it’s better to work 80 hours instead of 40
I think 60 is fair
4 on 4 off, twelve hour shifts, 
£48,000 a year! 
NO OVERTIME as it gives it in the first line! 
4 on 4 OFF
48 hours should pay a wage that most people can live comfortably on, anything over should be by choice, 60 should put one well into the higher tax bracket and 70 should see one grossing £45/50k excluding subsistence/ex’s for those who want for a variety of reasons to earn high.
No reason that people shouldn’t be allowed to work 70 hours if they want, but it should be for serious wedge, not a normal weeks pay.

Dam that’s the funniest thing I’ve read all year. Keep dreaming. For those wages think about how far inflation would go up

You carry on in 1963, some of us found the light…a tip for those still doffing the cap for bugger all…the money is not in normal hire and reward unless specialised.
It’s fine I’m home every day now and don’t do normal higher and reward. Unfortunately if everyone went in to specialized transport it would bring the rates for that sector wouldn’t it

I like the way you mention 60 - 70hrs per week and quality of life in the same sentance
Work - sleep - work - sleep - work - sleep. Sounds like your living the dream.
Each to there own and all that if thats what you enjoy good luck to you.

NO TIME FOR DREAMING LAD! 71/ 84 hours for peanuts lol
Everyone is different and their preferences & needs will change as they go through life.
Personally ideally 40 but 50 max per week. Ideal start time 11:00-14:00 and finished by 00:00.
Two days a week,18 hrs max…if I could afford to its all I’d do.
