    I had a so called great job once I worked seven days a week I had
    three days off in one year I averaged 80 hours a week one week I
    managed to get in 104 hours I got full benefits for my whole family
    real good benefits not cheesy half baked ones I got a 2000 dollar
    chistmas bonus I was supposed to get 2 weeks paid vacation but was
    just given two weeks extra pay instead then at the end of the year
    you get a check for 15% of your gross pay that is put into a
    retirement account you get one dollar per year pay raises and you
    get time and a half and doulble time for all overtime I was also
    paid 25 dollars an hour. I would have stayed if it wasnt for the
    crazy hours, plus all the jewelery we worked on was awsome I did
    only custom work and the average price was 20000 dollars and up. Due
    to the extreme pressure and stress I had to start taking anti
    anxiety medication and because I spent the whole day sitting lemme
    tell you about hemroids holy cow I dont know what was worse the
    panic attacks or the flare ups. Anyway I quit just walked out
    leaving a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of unfinshed jobs on
    my bench. No more panic attacks no more hemroids and a 70000 dollar
    paycut I truly couldnt be happier honestly. 

    P.S. I still do thier work just at home and at my pace real slow.
