It varies for me.... an example would be today: I started at 0730 and finished at 2015.
I've also worked for the last 6 day and I am On-call from Thurday until Monday morning. Puppy Eyes

I go to school, but i leave the house at 7 am and i dont get back till 5 pm or so with all that after school stuff i have to do. My mom works, and she leaves 7:30 and gets back at 6 or so. That would be around 10 hours.

None during school, but 10+ during the summer, usually 5 days a week. Wakeboard and sleep are the only other things I do.

Right now it's only 4 hour days because there isn't any work for me. Good thing I'm salaried. When there is work though I can end up working 50-60 hours a week.

Hmmm, for the past three years, I leave the house at 5:30 a.m. and get home around 6:00 p.m.

Is that long?

Right now it is pretty slow at work for me so I put in my 40 hours and hit the road, but when it is busy I work a lot of hours. My longest week was 108 hours. Man that was a nice paycheck.

I think I'm averaging 9 hour days. Depends on how many projects I have & if they're high priority or not.

9-10 usually in the summer. One time I got paid for 18 hours because I was installing cabinets up in northern Minnesota and we got paid for driving and sleeping. We worked only like 6 hours in that time period.
