Funny you should ask. My wife and I were discussing this recently over upcoming summer vacation plans. Working professionally since 1977, I've never had more than 2 weeks. Her father, a Dupont plant employee in the 60's, had six weeks of vacation. Six weeks! Does any employer still grant 6 weeks of vacation these days? (Self employed need not reply, we know you guys are lucky to get one week off.)

I take two to three weeks off each year UNPAID for spring break up and another two or three weeks during the summer to make hay (if I am working out of town in town no time off just make hay after work).
It would not matter how much time I could take off it could never be vacation because their is always somthing to do around the farm or rental houses.

One strange job I had would only let me take a few days off after a whole year went by. Now the funny thing is I end up working on almost every holiday. I will probably end up with 5 weeks vacation.
Too busy I guess.

Two weeks - they also count as your sick days. Last year my son was sick for two weeks straight, my wife and I traded off staying home with him (at least she only works half days so I could finish the day at work). By the end of the year I had taken three days for myself, day after Thanksgiving, extra day on the Fourth of Juy, and Christmas Eve. This year I'm going to go for four.
