Over a decade ago, I was a salaried electrician, 9.5 hour days, MT-RF (considered "full-time"). Wednesdays "off" was absolutely incredible, and it brought refreshed energy to my team... major issue was that most of our clients always wanted us to be available/working on Wednesdays; sometimes we'd get blamed for "delaying project" simply because a PM thought we should be working every day of the week =D

When I was IBEW, I'd work 60 hrs/week... beginning the day at 5AM and still getting home before sunsets (usually). I do NOT miss only-Sundays-off.
