I went to 4-10s and LOVED it. I had a ton of free time. So I decided to open my own small business and that added at least 35hrs of work to my week. I'm sure I spend more time than that thinking about stuff, changing things, tweaking stuff so I'd think it's closer to another full-time job if it's not already...
Before this I worked 5-8hr days a week and I still found time to own a small minor auto body business, which I sold because of getting married and having kids. But I still found time to frame houses, build decks, fences, sheds, finish basements etc on my free time.
Before that I worked two jobs (eves & weekends) while at MSU doing my BSCE degree. Which I completed in 3yrs when my classmates took 5yrs with no job... This is when I learned about the internet and computers. I wasn't exposed to them till about '97 because that's how the homework was to be done and turned in.
Even before that, I did the military thing to get the GI bill just to go to college....
So Gogar - I have a very hard time swallowing your statement that American's don't know what 'real' work is like. There's more than you think! However I maybe a special case but I believe that most of us Americans once pushed a little will stand up to any task...
