As long as it takes, basically.
In my current work, depending on what I'm working on, I get paid either on a day-rate with a pre-agreed estimate, or on an ad-hoc hourly basis for reporting tasks plus costs and expenses. The latter is fine, as I can just log hourage and charge the client for that, but the former (which I do most of my work in) means that I've got to estimate some tasks blind. It's not unheard of for me to work 12-hour days on some projects, or even longer; similarly, some weeks I might do three or four hours work a day on a project in order to meet the allocated delivery date (especially if I'm presenting something- no point having a draft report ready on Tuesday if my client can't even read it til the following Monday and it also leaves time for me to slot in other work or the day-to-day aspects of running my company which are better done continually and gradually instead of all in one go).

Well right now fairly average hours for the most part, usually start 7-8 in the a.m and finish around 5-6 in the p.m. Sometimes (Usually Friday Saturday nights) i will work maybe until midnight. I work 5-6days a week, today i have off, but it means i work Saturday. So about 10 hours on average. I really want to start up my apprenticeship again, work is a bit harder, hours can be longer and the pay is sh*t. But once i finish it, thanking-you 120k a year, but at the moment i am saving up because now i earn $22 an hour, when i go back to my apprenticeship it will be like $6 and hour, so i need to save up a bit.

I make more doing that than I do training. |
You get $12,000 a year for letting out your neighbor's dog?!?!?!?! | Pretty much, yeah. She gives me 50 dollars per day that I take care of them, and if she's gone from her house (she goes back and fourth between NY and DC, I actually know her from home in NY) for long periods of time I make more. I've read about people who do dog walking for a living. You can make like 40 grand a year in nontaxable income doing it if you actually make a career out of it and let out tons of peoples' dogs.
