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?

    You’re setting yourself up for failure through. if you work for 3-4 hours, they’re only going to pay for for 3-4.

    Being there for 8 with only 3-4 hours done gets you paid for 8 with being available for another 8.

    You’re better off finding a place that is understaffed and can keep you busy for 8.

    Historically, I’ve used the idle time to learn new skills.
