Tell me your choice + your job 👀

I think I would take either job. Because either way you still get a couple of days off. And one of those off days I would use to find something that I could make more money with and work less time with. So no matter which job I chose, I would find a way that I could do something that I could make just as much if not more than either job with less time and then once I got into that line of work then if I did not feel like doing it, the regular job I was hired for, then I could devote more time to the other stream of income that may better suit my needs.

Honestly, it depends on the season. As a therapist, I’ve learned that time and capacity matter just as much as income. If my basic needs are covered, I’d choose the 4-day workweek for the extra rest and recovery because burnout is real in helping professions. But with today’s cost of living, I also understand choosing the 5 days when stability or financial goals require it. Balance looks different depending on what you need in that moment.
