I would take virtually any job that paid what I make now (nowhere close to $300k) and required 4 hours a week over the very best job that paid what I make now and required 40 hours a week. Don't even have to think about it.
I can fill 36 hours a week of my time better than anyone else can. If the money's equal and the time difference is that steep, I'll take the shorter time commitment.
- throwaway6734 4y agoEven over doing something awesome like trying to land people on Mars?
- paulcole 4y agoYes, 100%. Honestly can’t think of many things that interest me less than 40 hours a week trying to land people on Mars. I’ll take 4 hours a week at work, a livable salary, and 36 hours sitting in a coffee shop reading a book and shitposting on Reddit thanks.
- throwaway6734 4y agoTo each their own. Any fiction recommendations?
- paulcole 4y agoJack Reacher series. John Grisham. Michael Crichton. The new Heat 2 novel. Pretty much any crime/medical/legal thriller does it for me.
- mecha_ghidorah 4y agoNot parent but absolutely. There isn't a single thing I could do 40 hours a week long term without at least getting kind of sick of... but 4 hours per week means I wouldn't get sick of it, plus I'd have all that flexibility and energy and time to devote to several things that do interest me
