ps. i do beleive as individuals we should all strive for econmic thinking.

ie get more done, more produced in less time. I do beleive in striving for more efficient ways of being effective. i do not beleive in long hrs just for the sake of it. i also beleive if one is putting 70 hrs wkly in a low paying, low satisfaction job, they should go back to education or training to be qualified for a higher value job.

i think nothing will kill an individual faster than long hrs in a tedious job with mediocre pay

as acting like godot says i will rather be the guy who produces 120 widgets in 40hrs, but next yr 120 widgets in 30 hrs or even better I would like to manage the guys who crank widgets or evn own the company and still put in 40. however if i have to notch it up to 60 - 70 to fight off the other widget crankers fighting for manager position then i do what needs doing.

i would rather slog in my 30s and and chill late 40s upwards

you know what breaks my heart? its seeing OAPs in their 70s and 80s working 40 hrs wkly in the supermarket because they cant afford to retire. it happens alot here in England. Alot of oldies cant rretire on their pensions. i have had a few drum in to me work hard in your youth and party abit, so you can really relax in your golden yrs.
