But I would say that your statement assumes that work is not actually enjoyable for some people.
?
Some people like working...they enjoy their work. If the only goal is to work as little as possible and go home then less hours are always good. But some people enjoy their work and get fulfillment from it
8 hours work hours I would guess in the modern world is quite the standard (40h/ week)(?)... having breaks isn't about "not wanting to work".
And working 9 to 5 without a break, in what way is that working more than 8 to 5 with a lunch break?
Ok, I didn’t think I needed to say this. I used “9-5” to describe work...there is very likely hardy anyone that works those hours. It was a specific hour example.
How about try 7-5 or 730-630, or sometimes 7-7....

Well, 8-5 is actually a standard (here) for how people work. So how was I to know "9-5" wasn't in the US. Hah.
And having 40 hour work weeks (with from googling seems to be a standard even in the US) doesn't say you don't love your job. But there is something called work-life-balance, resting up and taking care of other things in life (Children etc).
I though, work two jobs and more than 40 hours. Because I enjoy it.

My job(s) beat all of yours. Because I have taxfunded healthcare. We have paid parental leave. We have paid vacation. People get to eat lunch. Etc.
That is pretty sweet - good for you.
Not sure how that makes your job any better than anyone else's?
I'd bet that many people here also like their jobs. If I make 5x what you do then I can afford vacations and healthcare and whatever else I want. Your job still might be way better, you might love it more than anything.
Only to say that benefits and pay does not make the job better, necessarily.

A big percentage of the board is a square off between two people. It is so interesting. (Not really.)
The ignore feature is wonderful. I really appreciate and learn from people who have opposite viewpoints from me but some people are just not worth responding to.

Maybe you find it scary, when some people show that you are not in Kansas anymore?

So we took this long to figure out what we already knew? You’re a communist. Cool. What a waste of time.
(where do you live/teach anyhow? No need to be specific...US? What state?)
since I answered you Ecdanc, how come you haven’t answered me?
Exasperating.
So in between your insults of me I missed a post. Sorry.
You posted an accusatory followup without bothering to go back and look. True to your pattern.
I posted a question. I also didn’t see you being an asshole to me, missed that post as well.
why even bother with this guy, cincy? you know it's going to be nothing but "higher education" bullshit and "scholarly" insults, right? just ignore and move on.

no, some people just feel the need to go on the internet and show everyone how inadequate they feel.
