What's your reaction about working during the weekend ?

Would you accept a job that would require you spend the weekend away from your home?

I'm an ecologist, so I do need to spend the weekend away from my home and family every once in a while. Of course this is not a great feeling, but at least I'm in for some fun during the weekends, since weekend work or longer trips typically mean getting into nature to do some field work. 

It would probably feel a lot worse having to work in the weekend if I had a regular office job. That would actually be terrible when I think about it! However, the good thing is (at least in my country) is that you typically get between 50 and 150 % bonus to your hourly wages during the weekend, depending on when you work. Sundays pay extremely well here in Norway! 

I always feel angry and tired when I go to work on weekend. There was a time I was working in a company that is producing bottle water, we start work by 7am in the morning and stop by 6pm, that is 11hours of working, and the working days is from Monday to Saturday, believe me, I couldn't survive there for a month, despite only Sunday is for break, so I love to rest a lot that is why am doing my own business now rather than working for another person. I wake up when I like and sleep when I like. I survive with online platform these days. All thanks to steemit and some other online businesses that am working on.

That depends, on a gazillion different things...

- Do you like being at home (because you have a loved one waiting there, because you have children,...)

- Do you have something better to do? Like hobbies or something?

- What is the job about? Is it a stepping stone to a much better job/life?

- Is it temporary? (see previous bullet)

- Do you like the job?

- Do you need the money?


It's all about prioritization... I would do it, in some cases, I will not do it, in many other cases...
