I come here not for strife and scandal,but to learn incisive counter-points and reality-checks which may save me. I have the possibility of working 80-120 hours a week. I work in IT engeneering and publicity+marketing. I will consider the time I spend studying for further qualifications as “work”
Now, the main points :
- I am aware I may -surely WILL- die in my late 50s or reach 70 in a destroyed state if I adopt this regime of work for 1,2, 3 years and then keep up a similar pace
- At the same time, while being in the “upper ring” of a firmly middle,Middle Class, I crave reaching the upper class. this is for philosophical reasons,to show myself that anyone who puts the grit can be upper class. .i have already pledged to myself Ill donate most of anything I get as upper class (I already donate from my current salary)
what do I do? I turned 27 some months ago. so far I work 50-65 hours a week and its fully within my discretion to work 100,or 80,etc. I feel my long-term health is at stake and maybe im insane for using it as a gambling chip.
