Technically, I get more vacation! xDYou have less vacation than most people? what kind of work is that, though?
I counted all the working days minus weekends and holidays and got 247 working days, vs 118 holidays+weekends. Generally, there are for weeks per year of official vacation (if you take them) so it's 7x4-2x4 (four weeks minus the weekends, since I counted them already) = 227 working days. 8-hour shift is a third of a day, so it's 1816 working hours per year, and a year is 8760 hours.
Now, about a percentage: (100/8760)x1816=20,7. So working hours are 20,7% of the year.
But! If we speak life, the thing gets complicated, as people don't work their entire life. Roughly, if we work since 18 till 65, and live for 100 years... I'm too lazy to do the math... but it;'s 47 years from 100 years of work, which is less than a half, which rounds up our work per life to 10-12 per cent of our existence.
And this calculation actually made me feel better. Things aren't as scary as I thought them to be.
I get Spring Break, Winter Break, and Summer Break plus holidays and whatnot, so I have more time off!
