what would you do? I was offered to work 10 hours a day four days a week, OR 8 hours a day five days a week. Which offer would you take, and why?

Depends on what kind of work.

Ten hours on your feet means you may spend that extra day off sitting around with your feet up trying to recover.

4 10 hour days if I had my choice. I'd already be there so what is 2 more hours a day if it gives me another whole day off!

First I'd ask what I'd be DOING during the time I had to be there, seemsayin' ... If I don't know that, the pay, the health insurance benefits (well, kiss those goodbye, huh?), the vacation time accrual policy, 401(k) employer contribution, etc etc, I can't make a prudent choice now, can I ... ?

I'd go with 10 hours a day, 4 days a week.

I used to work 4 10s and loved it cause I was off on payday.

I prefer to work 8 hours 5 days a week. (1) I'd be anticipating those extra 2 hours to arrive near the end of work. (2) I wouldn't want to go back to work after having 3 days off in a week.

Definitely 4 10s man. That's like a holiday weekend every week.

I have actually worked both and right now I prefer 8/5 because I have kids at home. When I worked 10/4 it was a nightmare trying to get supper done, homework done, etc. before it got too late in the evening. When my kids leave home I will go back to working 10/4 because then I will be able to run all my errands and make appointments for one of my days off and then still have 2 days off to do whatever I want.
