So I work a contract gig and am on the cusp of getting licensed, and I’m puffing up steam after 40 hr work weeks. I’ve always strived for 40 because that was the standard for full time.

Then I realized something. Without benefits, is the 8 extra hours worth it? Especially when I can manage my expenses. And without a 401k, why am I running myself into the dirt. Especially when I’ve been praying for 32 hour full time gigs when I do look for work.

So considering how burnout is in our field, do any of yall strive for 40+ hours? Would love some perspective
