Want to talk about having a hard time getting into a set schedule. The only shift I hate the over night shifts, which is the only shift my wife hate as well. Alas though, it pays the bills has a decent amount of OT and we get paid really well for the inconvenience of the shift work.

That the kinda work I wish I could do. But i would be the most likely to electrocute then self's....i still have no idea how I passed my test to be ASE certified for electronics in cars back in collage.

I only look for graveyard shifts I can't function during the day its amazing when im still awake and can blink and breath at the same time during daylight hours

I work graveyard shift in a hospital as a physician. It is definitely a toss up- on one hand I only work 40hrs/week and make a reasonable salary compared with my coworkers. On the other hand, I am exhausted and my body really doesn't like it. I've been doing it for almost 3 years now and plan on doing it for at least 5 more until my student loans are paid off.
