What percentage of your lives are spent at work?

Answer 1

Too much... You spend almost 1/3 of your life sleeping to start off. Average full time employee works at LEAST 40 hours a week. I personally work 45-55 hours a week. So roughly 30 percent of my life will be spent working, now this doesn't include travel time... getting ready for work/bed.

Sum up=

1/3 Sleep

1/3 Work

1/3 Free time/ Getting ready for Sleep/Work

Life sucks

The first 8 hrs your working, building your boss's dreams. That's what gets you by. The next 8 hrs you can decide to build your Dreams, that's what will get you ahead. A man without a dream shall perish.

Not everyone spends 7 hrs a day watching t.v The average person does, but successful people spend the 1/3 of that free time building their dreams so they don't have to spend 1/3 of their life imprisoned at a JOB being a SLAVE to another MAN!

I know that's what the School Systems and most of our parents teach us but there ARE options that allow ANYONE to build their dreams.

life doesnt have to suck.

Answer 2

If someone works 40 hours a week from the time they are 21 until they are 55 and live the average of of 75 years then they will have spent about 10% of their life working, or nearly 8 years. However this is no longer a typical person's worklife. Many people begin working before they are 21 and/or work well past age 55. Someone who works 40 hours per week from age 18 to age 65 will have spent approximately 14% of their life working, or almost 11 years of their life. Of course many people also work a lot more than 40 hours per week, perhaps in a managerial or executive position or working multiple jobs. An overachiever of this kind who works 60 hours per week from age 21 to age 65 will have spent over 20% of their life working, or 15 years of their life. And there are many other variations as well.

Answer 3

if you work 8 hours a day, then 33.3% of your day is spent at work.
