Hwal’s Answer

Keyhan,

Your work schedule depends on so many factors, including field of work, actual position, and seniority. If you could share what position or career path you're considering, I might be able to offer more specific information and advice. Mom a current PA (Physician Assistant) student in clinical year, by the way.

Victor’s Answer

As a new scientist or health care worker, there would be many options. In today's healthcare and biotechnology, you can work many times or shifts. Some people prefer less common hours and may like working night shifts or off hours. When you start out, you have less flexibility and over time as you gain experience, need less supervision and gain seniority you will have more choice.

Paige’s Answer

Interesting question! It depends on many factors, as mentioned by Hwal. However, the standard work day in the US is 8 hours per day and 40 hours per week. That is a full time job that will entitle you to benefits like health insurance and paid vacation. Most people working in an office or with the public (patients or customers) will work 8-5 or 9-6. However many companies now offer flexible hours or work from home options. They typically offer those to employees who have proven their reliability and trustworthiness.

You may choose to work fewer hours but you will be paid less and probably won’t get any benefits.
