Maybe things have changed but I think 50-70 is more typical for SpaceX
Is that worse than high-school?
I attended high school from 8am to 3pm with a 45-minute lunch break and 15-minute reading break.
6hrs. Plus the 5-10 minutes between classes where I had to get up and walk to the next classroom.
And you're saying that the work environment at SpaceX is comparable?
You may have had an easier high-school experience than I did. I had a commute of 30-45 minutes, I had long periods where I wasn't allowed to use the bathroom (and even when I could, the time in betweeen was short), my belongings were often messed with (people messed with the locker locks), and mucg higher academic expectations than I've seen in any workplace.
I’m sorry you have such a tough time at school but the solution is to make school better not avoid it. Charter schools in the southeast are taking a dangerous hyper religious turn and aren’t going away anytime soon.
30-45 minutes each way? Were you in a rural environment or go to a private school?
I had a similar experience with public school even in Los Angeles, and thats before I started taking public transit and school buses to get to and from school. It would often take the better part of an hour with minimal LA traffic
Everything in LA is the better part of an hour away, not just schools. :-)
Catholic school, pretty common in my part of the country. My wife had a similar experience on a bus at a public school, two counties more rural.
