I personally prefer to get paid to travel to the jobsite, but it doesn't always work out that way.<BR/><BR/>A lot of people like the 10 and 4 schedule. I liked it better when I was based in a company office, so I had some office days where I went home every night. Whether it works well for you depends on how far you travel to the job site and what your family/personal situation is.<BR/><BR/>If you are working overseas, I wouldn't expect to work any less time than 30 days in a row, with maybe 2 weeks off.<BR/><BR/>As for ideal, some people I know would like to work 15 and 15, or even 10 and 20, but those kind of schedules are a little harder to arrange, especially when just starting, and they are less lucrative, also.<BR/><BR/>Another schedule, 15 and 6, isn't too bad! I have recently liked variations of the 20 and 10 schedule - that allows a lot of days off in a row. I don't get all those days at home, however, because of our peculiar work arrangement (MOH has a different schedule than I do).Silver Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03131032620978696727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693614218792476252.post-38247958432012014512008-10-21T14:49:00.000-07:002008-10-21T14:49:00.000-07:00So what would be the ideal (realistically speaking...So what would be the ideal (realistically speaking) schedule in your opinion?Mathiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02950872285924945887noreply@blogger.com
