Title: Amount of hours paid working per week?
Post by: lukew on May 15, 2011, 05:00:37 pm: Just wondering how many hours working people take a week, I'm in year 11 and I'm working around 10+ (way too much I know)
I'm thinking 5 hours or so would be reasonable? Anyone else feel free to add input.

Post by: chrisjb on May 15, 2011, 05:44:40 pm: oh :P Through most year 11 I did about 7 or 8 hours a week and it seemed like about the right amount for me. I'm not working this year though... I reckon I could hold down a job this year too with similar hours, but I'm doing more extra curricula stuff instead. But 10 hours a week would probably be manageable.

Post by: Camo on May 16, 2011, 10:27:39 am: I do roughly 15 hours a week on part time which allows me to take annual leave once I get hit with exams, thus getting paid for exams. Works great though, I run around lots at work soibasically count this to bevy exercise that I would be unable to do. Just manage your work around your sacs a d it should be fine.
