Holy fuck... the past two days (Wednesday morning through Thursday morning) I put in a 20 hour work day from 8 AM to 4AM Thursday fencing on a ranch. I had two red bulls, two 5 hour energies, 5 granola bars, and some frosted shredded wheaties. I was a shaking mess at the end of the day but now I get a 4 day weekend.

I worked 17 hr days on a fishing boat up in AK, wasn't too bad b/c of the money...I've worked construction, and owned a scuba salvage business, worked in a scuba shop, was a fishing guide...and my worst job yet is being an intern at this damn comapany, I make their website and data bases run correctly...it's only 9 hr days but I hate in sooo much...I'd rather be outside.

I have been routinely working 11-13 hour days.  Sometimes I enjoy it, sometimes I hate it.  The poeple I work with a pretty fun so that makes it so much more enjoyable.
I then realized that  I am not supposed to work over 40 hours a weeks since I am 17, but ohh well, I make more money.

I know this, but the old guys would always put in the fence while us younger guys would dig the holes...

put your heads together and do some math.  you know how much money youre making from these 60-80 hour weeks youre stating, right?  now add up all your real world costs (mortgage, utilities, insurance, gas, food, etc.) and see where you end up.  the real world sucks balls because its all about making ends meet.
