How much money would you have to make for you to wake up at 4am to go to work? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Defintely $90,000-lol My body could not do it for what I make now. I just think it's a shame when i hear people waking up at that time and not making anything. I would refuse to ever wake that early

James"Thunder"Early · 02-24-2006, 11:05 AM

I'd do it, I don't mind getting up early

Mysty Eyes · 02-24-2006, 11:31 AM

The thought of getting up for work that early is fatiguing.

Actually, I don't recall exactly what time I got up at the time, but years ago I had a job that I had to get up early for. I was MUCH younger then.

The up side: if you are an hourly employee, as I was, your quitting time is also early. My work day ended at 3:30pm; this gave me half of each afternoon to have a life.

Oh, and my pay was very low.

But... many jobs have odd hours: hospital workers, bartenders, stores open 24 hours, radio and TV news people, etc.

I use to do that when I worked for a morning radio show. Waking up didn't bother me as much, but when I got home at around 1pm, I was ready for a nap. lol

Only if I made the kind of money of those early risers, Howard Stern and Katie Couric.

It's still a negative side to that, that means you would have to be sleep by 9pm-lol In my case case i have my own evening since i get off at 5pm

D.J. · 02-24-2006, 01:48 PM

To get up at 4, I'd better at least 2 grand a week.

well, i end up going to bed @ 10 every nigh tand I get off @ 5 anyway, so i would actually like the early morning schedule better.

Getting up early only means having to get to bed earlier. If you are complaining because you will miss t.v. shows, that's different. But once you start a job early in the morning, your body will eventually adjust and you will wake up like it's nothing. It's no different than going to bed late at night and having the opportunity to sleep in.
When I worked as a paralegal for a firm in Calabasas (Los Angeles County) that was a 35 minute drive. I had to get up at 5:30 a.m. so I could get ready, see my kids in the morning, and get to the office by 8 a.m. hoping there wouldn't be gridlock or bad traffic. I then left the office at 4:30 p.m. so I could head home, change my clothes and be at my part-time job at a music store by 6 p.m. I loved my part-time job. I did it so I could keep my kids in private school. I would get out of that job at midnight. I wouldn't get to sleep until 1 a.m. so that gave me 4 1/2 hrs. sleep. Believe me, I was tired the first two weeks, but after that, I did that for two years with no problem. Your body gets used to it. Assuming you are in good health, etc.

dawsongirl · 02-24-2006, 03:28 PM

bah...I go to bed around then.

No way could I go to bed at like, 8pm. It'd have to be over $100K a year.

Holly · 02-24-2006, 03:33 PM

I would go, if it's more money that i'm making now.

I get an average of 4-5 hours of sleep a night. 2am to 7am
