The arbitrary 8.5-9 hour workday drives me nuts, because a lot of the time, I really only have 3 or 4 hours worth of work to do. I generally work quickly and I value my time. Can I make a decent living doing something that gives me this kind of flexibility?

    I don’t know where you live, but what you’re describing is not the norm in any developed country I’ve visited. Hourly jobs come with a schedule. You’re expected to be at work for the entire scheduled shift, it has nothing to do with amount of work to be done. If you just decide to leave halfway through your shift, you will be fired.

    As an aside, if you were paid hourly and only worked a few hours a week, you wouldn’t make any fucking money. That’s kinda how hourly compensation works, you have to BE AT WORK for an hour if you wish to be paid for that hour.

    Got any more dumbass fucking shit to say? Get bent.

      (literally the opposite of what OP asked about)

      dumbass fucking shit

      Speaking of that

      As an aside, if you were paid hourly and only worked a few hours a week, you wouldn’t make any fucking money.

      Yeah why the fuck do you think so many people are so goddamn poor? So you’re wrong, angry, AND entitled. Trifecta. Try being poor for once in your life, then you’ll find a better place to put your anger.

      dumbass fucking shit
