My friend has been working 2 jobs in los Angeles and total hours worked per week is 80 hours. I am concerned he will make himself sick. He is about 35 years old. He keeps saying that he has no choice and that the country is trying to kill him and this is his way of giving up.

I don’t know what to tell him. Is there another option for him? I suggested going to trade school and cutting back on hours worked. He says he can barely pay rent working 80 hrs. He has no degree and just cleans buildings

Have you tried looking into a city job? My husband works for the city here in TX and he has great benefits and makes a decent amount. Plus worklife balance is great. He didn't have a degree.

Thanks for sharing. This is very helpful

In some areas of the US it is the truth you either work your self to the grave or move to a state that the things do not cost as much and your wages will cover bills. The next time some says why would anyone live in New Mexico now you know that wages will cover living.

Moving to another state is also an option. But its hard to move without savings. So I don’t know how he would do this.

I’m teaching summer school at a high school, and the co-principals have asked me to focus on only 2 to 3 chapters worth (what they are calling “2-3 standards” in the eight days of summer semesters. However, they are also asking me to give kids the midterm and/or final at the end of each period, which covers 4-5 chapters each semester. My question is this: “Is it legal by California Ed code for the administration to ask me to teach less than each entire semester, yet test each whole semester?”
