personally I think two jobs isn't so bad. It's nice to mix things up, change the pace a bit, and at least if you're working 70hrs a week it's your choice that way. I can't stand doing the same job 70hrs a week, feels like my employer has me on a leash, like someone owns me. Don't have much of a life like that.
I was thinking of taking a second job in the winter in my down time to supplement my income, it's nice to have that second paycheque.

I work construction with my own for hire trucks(3),one of my drivers is guaranteed 60 hrs a week,and I just hired another driver tuesday and he has 39 hrs in in 4 days and was off by 9 this morning,last week I worked 7 12 hour days in the truck and a few hours a night on the trucks but off today because of a big rain storm too wet to work on the construction sites and too wet to put gravel down on the roads,why I do this I'm still not sure,we only work from may to december and a very little during the winter months

When the shop is in full swing, 56 hours weeks are the norm. My record is 94 hours.
