if you work everyday and get told Monday to Friday is working everyday!

That attitude isn't that surprising nowadays. I don't know if it's countrywide, but locally kids finish school at lunchtime on a wednesday and have the afternoon off. They are considered to be in full time education even though they only attend four and a half days a week!  Not my definition of full time, but there ya go.

My definition of working everyday would be you work every day maybe not including bank holidays. But if someone says they have a full time job I would assume 40hrs per week.

One kid doing a levels one at uni both do about 16hrs per week in lessons! Both in full time education.

I can just imagine a school leaver attending an interview "You mean I have to come every day, Monday to Friday between nine o'clock and five o'clock?  "

You’d think it would be better when kids pay so much too, for my eldest at uni I say how much an hour are you paying to be there..paying about £15/hr doesn’t represent good value to me. But obviously it has other benefits and is a great experience.

To be fair though, higher education is a lot more orientated to self learning (rather than secondary education which almost  requires a teacher with a loaded gun to actually educate the pupil)

full time 9-5 monday to friday every day is every day like the farming community, dont know where i am but very rarely have a day off and most days are any where from 8 - 16 hrs dont think twice about stoping on site forwarding timber out when every one else has gone at 5 and i may be there till 10pm, was going to have a week or two of this summer but when i planed it it all went tits up on the first day and ended up with 1/2 a day off over 16, some people say i am crackers and some say i have a slate loose ? but i know where i want to be in buisness in 5 years and i cant do it with out the funds to finance it and thats why i do it,

I was told I had a customer turned up on Boxing day at 8am for some logs , we are gratefull for the business but people need to plan ahead we are open 7 days a week during season for delivery and collection and only close for three days over christmass, maybe I need to be a bit more selfish but not so easy when trying to build a business need to find a balance ! what are your thoughts?
