The longest single job I ever worked as a employee was 3 years. The only reason I kept that job that long was because it was a 3x12hr work week. I worked 3 days a week had 4 days off and have 5 weeks worth off time off each of those 3 years.

When I was traveling, I didn't like eating up my savings so I'd often pick up random temp jobs and worked at some pretty cool places but I was always able to pick my job vs needing one so that made it a bit nicer.
