No, I actually don't. Thanks.

yeah I agree, 80k hours is way too much, workaholics might reach those numbers though

How do you figure that? 8 hours a day * 5 days a week * 50 weeks a year = 2000 hours per year; over a 40-year working life that's 80K hours. Seems like a completely normal pace.
Zekio
well the country I live in we work less than 50 weeks a year due to holidays and 25 days off a year minimum, and then you have sick days as well

Ok, so maybe it's 80k hours across a 45 year career, then. What difference does that make? 80k is still a reasonable approximation for the total time one has available for one's career. Of course people's individual circumstances will vary, but that's not the point.
