A 50 hour work week? Oh, the horror!

Guess what sweetheart. If a glamorous showbiz job was easy, we'd all be doing it. Don't want to work 50 hours a week? Don't worry. The young woman standing in line behind you will.

“Mondy worked 50-plus-hour weeks, she said, making $11.25 an hour.”

Someone cue Jeff Spicoli: “Righteous Bucks!”

I did more that a few 50 hour weeks working in a big city ER...gunshot wounds,ODs,heart attacks,cancer,car accidents.

Eventful? Yes. Glamorous? Hardly.

Drew68 is omitting the idea that the creeps who run Hollyweird are a bunch of creeps.

That’s a slow week for me.

Right. . .or go start your own business and expect to work at least twice that. . .and forget vacations cause there ain't no stinkin vacations. If I were to actually take a vacation, I would only be sitting at the beach crying, thinking about all the money I'm losing.

That’s what everyone kept telling Andi in “The Devil Wears Prada.” At least the fashion industry drones got some expensive swag and unwanted gifts. It doesn’t sound like the Hollyweird worker bees get any good freebies.

Exactly. You would be hard pressed to come across a successful person - one who can really say he made it - who worked just a 40-hour week.

Those who insist on 40-hour weeks and do nothing more can expect to never rise above worker drone.
