its true, they do have more time off.

the problem is, the benefits of it to the outside has been smeared by europes social system.

so now the gov want people to work longer so they can collect yet more tax dollars to give to the immigrants and people who do not want to work.

Read about the new French President, Sarkozy? He's keeping the 35 hour work weeks but proposing tax-free overtime.

Kind of funny how that part of the world seems to be coming around just as we're heading out.

It's almost too incredible to say, but socialist France's president may just be the light showing the way for the west.

While Bush is handing out Ameican citizenships to criminals, Sarkozy has spoken openly about not only deporting non-citizens, but acutally offering $8k to any family NOT of French ethnic origin to leave the country. Then he started talking about returning to the 37.5 hour work week, bu was shouted down, so switched to this tax-free overtime, basically trying to get people to work more.

It's strange times lads.

I do 9 1/2 months of 10 - 12 hour days, but I also get June, July and some of August off...

Teaching is not all bad.

I worked 60 hours the last two weeks. But that's not relevant. Are you all sure this isn't an ad for some employment agency. Maybe their saying if you buy their book you can have a job that seems like a weekend....
