> why can't I work 20 hours as a programmer, and 20 hours as a tree-planter, or teaching rock climbing to high school kids, for maybe 55% of a programmer's salary? I would gladly give up 20% of my salary to take Fridays off entirely.

    True. I'd also not be drinking water, using a parking space, or any of the other office facilities, and if I shut down my PC I'd be using less electricity. I'd of course still be receiving benefits and taking up space on the mail server, and my desk would sit there unused.

I'd prefer taking Wednesdays off. I'd probably end up working from home anyway, but at least I wouldn't have to wear pants: http://dailytannenbaum.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/times-im-wearing-pants.jpg?w=570 http://dailytannenbaum.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/times-im-...
