31 weeks off? That's like...8 months?

What kind of job do you have, just in interest?

As for me, having graduated from college, I feel as though I now understand what people mean when they say that college is the most fun period of your life. I guess the exception is for those who have a job that they love doing, but those are the few lucky ones.

I'll probably head back to school in a year or two, to see if I can eventually join those few.

There are plenty of 9 to 5 engineering jobs out there. It's getting through engineering in school that's the hard part.

I truly can't wait until I'm done with school. No joke, no sarcasm - I'd rather be working.

I work offshore in the North Sea. Do a twoo week on, three week off rotation. Works really well. Good pay, plenty of time off.

Im glad some members here like their jobs, but there are far more people who dislike their jobs that i have come across. I dont particularly like my job, but i do get 31 weeks off a year and make way more than the average wage.

31 weeks off is like 3/5 of the year!

How the heck did you get that job, and what is it?!

just keep trying all sorts of stuff in college and find a job you like; the money is far less important than enjoying what you do every day

I thought it had to be something in oil and gas or mining. There's a lot of guys around here who work similar rotations up in the oilfields. That's an especially nice schedule you've got, though.
