If you have children in their 20's, how many hours a week on average do they work?

[thelionkim]

Just that really

25yo DSD - 40-50 hours a week (trainee solicitor)
24yo DS - anywhere between 50 and 60 hours a week - in a trade that he loves.
22yo DSD - just finished Uni - 0 hours
20yo DD - 40 hours a week and not a minute more if she can help it

One son still finishing uni but works 16-20 hours pw as an intern

One son just finished uni and just returned from a psorts fixture and looking for a job but also in process of moving, so 0 hours right now but I'm hoping he;ll sort that out in a few weeks!

My dd has just turned 22. She works full time and has done since 16 when she started her degree apprenticeship.

My daughter is 20 she works full time

I'm 28 and work 40 a week. At university I worked about 12-16 a week.

DP (also 28) works about 55.

Both my boys work full time and both do a little overtime to afford nice things

I worked probably 50-60 hours plus in my 20s, and played equally hard and travelled loads, own house at 25 and now at 52 I am reaping the rewards of working hard when I had the energy by doing less hours in a stress free job.

24 yo- full time

28yo ( with baby) - 4 days

Older DC-aged 25 and 27 work full time-one in tv advertising and one in cyber security.

Youngest is doing a Masters degree and nannying part time to pay bills-which she loves.

Ds1 (27) full time shift work
Ds2 (25) full time 9-5.30
Ds3 (17) 15 hours + school + voluntary work (he gets bored of he stands still)

I worked 2 jobs in my 20’s to save a deposit for a house. I was like ds3. I’m worn out now!

40+, she's an apprentice agricultural engineer studying to be a master technician so this time of year during harvest it can be silly hours keeping all the combine harvesters going

Sorry just re-read your opening post @thelionkim that said DC in their 20's so my answer is no use as my DD has just turned 17 last month.

Mines 23 he works around 15 hours self employed. He could work more but he earns enough and doesn't currently want to.

The two who are working do about 40 hours, both wfh. The other is a student and isn’t currently working.

Ds is contracted for 35 hrs a week - full time job after leaving uni.
dd is still at uni, she works approx 10-15hrs a week during term time and anything up to 39 hrs during holidays..

Both work full time. One doesn't take breaks so it's FT+

My DD says she is the only full timer at work and at least one of them is younger than she is. There is a full time role for her she just likes having longer weekends. She lives with her parents so maybe she help them out, who knows.

40 hours at his full time job but he sometimes goes and helps his Dad out at weekends too.

Tell her not to give up. It took me over 7 years to break into my sector. Just keep persevering.

I am in my twenties and work 23 hours a week as standard but I often work a couple of extra hours in the evenings each week too and sometimes more. This week I will be working about 29 hours I think.

I do have two small children though. I worked 37.5 hours before I had my first child.

DH also in his twenties works 30 hours a week. Although does a couple of hours evening work on top most weeks too, but this isn't paid.

Early 20s and I work full time (37 hours).

30 hours on NHS placement, 7.5 hours uni plus adhoc agency shifts. So more than full time (also does his self directed uni work).

just turned 20, does 12 hour shifts on a 4 on 4 off rota.

about 40, that's normal, isn't it?

25 year old works 38 hours over 4 days
