I couldn't deal with it personally - sounds like hell. Probably great money, but is it worth it? The only it way would be is if it's a really cool place to work and you get to talk to a lot of cool people while you're there. |

I'm currently working at Advance Auto Parts, and I enjoy it. But I'm only making 8 dollars an hour, at 20-25 hours a week tops. I spend nearly a 1/3 of the money I make driving back and forth to the place because they schedule me 4 5 hour shifts instead of consolidating it... |

I wouldn't for $9-10/hour. Twelve-hour shifts suck, especially every day. I get drained just working two or three 12-hour shifts in a row, let alone an entire week. |

I live out in a very rural area. My county, and most of the surrounding ones, are the poorest in the state. Its almost all farmland, and there isn't a whole lot to choose from. Theres only two or three towns within roughly 15 miles from me, and they're all pretty small. |

Well, the factory I work at is in the middle of amish country; there's farmland basically surrounding the place. |
|
Well, I think I'm gonna suffer through it for at least a year. Even in a years time, I'd have my loans paid off, and probabyl have a new(er) car, with 8-10k to spare sitting in the bank. |

I'm not sure how much discipline you'll need to give yourself 8 hours of sleep a day. 3 hours of free time seems really too little. If it was me, I would start using up my sleep time just so I could do some personal things. |

That sounds horrendous. I worked one job where we had 4 10-hour days, and they really dragged on. I couldn't imagine adding both to days and hours. |

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Love is the law, love under will.
Yeah when I worked 12 hour shifts I spent my first day off catching up on sleep, so if you only have one day off you can kiss your social life good bye. |

Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
I got hired to work part time at a Macy's. On the second day they asked me to work 12hrs 6 days a week, i refused. Then they threaten to let me go if i didn't comply, so i left. I never worked a full time job yet. I just don't think i'll be able to do it unless i have a wife and kid to support. |

I worked in the food service industry for a few months, working 6 days a week, 8-12 hours a day depending on how busy the restaurant was. It was decent money ($8/hr), but it sucks the life right out of you. One day off a week just isn't enough to maintain your sanity, and when I came home from work, all I wanted to do is sleep. |
|
Personally, I'd go for it. I used to work at this warehouse where we'd occasionally work from 9 AM to 4 AM and I didn't really mind it at all. Then again, our supervisor let us smoke on the job as long as we didn't get too high so idk, it might not have been as bearable without the bud. Depends on how hard up for cash you are; if I was struggling to make ends meet, I'd probably give it some serious consideration. |
