Any student would pop google eyes if they could work 40 hours a week and still go to school finishing up their degree. However, when it’s you who gets the J.O.B. and you try and tell somebody that you landed a sweet 9-5… you get nothing but grief and empty hands right back at you. What’s the deal? You ain’t happy or jealous? Prob. neither…

Debunk’n the 9-5…

With my generation.. a 9-5 j.o.b. is like a bad word. Like 40 hrs is ok, but why not 10-6? 8-4? or 11-7? Sure them are fine and get you the same deal as the rock solid 9-5..
9-5 must mean “old school” “retro” or “grown-up hours.” it’s like the Jack & Coke of working hours… I thought retro was in? I suppose I thought wrong…

Welcome to a generation of fusion-junkies, alternative new-age lifestyles, organics, everything that isn’t .. well… that of our parents today (read: not when they were our age).

Defending the 9-5…

Don’t tell me I bonk’d cus I got what I got. What it is not is a straight up 20-30 year career.. Is that what we’re worried about? No adventure? How about no money? 9-5 will bring me the same doh-ray-me as a 10-6 or working straight-up every weekend (Suk).. And it’s a million times better then having no job.. no money.. and having nothing to take your girlfriend out with…

Don’t throw the 9-5 away just yet dudes… don’t object to 40 hours/wk.. soon 40 hours will seem like a vacation to us when we’re in our 30’s & 40’s.

Start’n on the 4th of Sept. I’ll work my 9-5, go to school, and write a wicked thesis…

…with pride!…
