I'm glad they have CBT Nuggets ... Work isn't as heavy as the days or even the weekday nights. We still get hit sometimes but I can get some good study time in. Other then that it isn't bad for a 2nd job. -

Same here - 7pm to 7am, for the last 2 years. It's quiet enough most nights that I managed to knock out my CCNP last year. I've been slacking a bit since then. I need to get back on board...Latest Completed: CISSP
Current goal: Dunno -

well, seems like there is more night timers on here than I thought.
I'm going to need you all to research my previous posts, and then post about things I find interesting over night so I can be entertained...

I would love a night shift job, but outside of support positions they are few and far between. -

I worked a 12 hour night shift during the summer, now I'm working the day shift to make my relationship at home better (girlfriends hate the night shift). I'm getting paid less to do 4x the amount of work, man do I miss the night shifts. Now that I'm actually enrolled at WGU, I would be able to graduate in under a year if I was working the night shift...

my wife wasnt' crazy about me working nights either, but she trusted my judgement
it has already helped out in numerous situations with picking up/dropping off kids
another bonus is that it is slower on night shift, and I have found I am able to do more studying at work and in turn spending less time studying at home, so I get more actual family time at home
12 hour shifts are the best, I dont want to go back to a standard 40 hour week.Currently Working On

I just got off of graves (12am - 8am). Plenty of study time, but sometimes hard to stay awake. I actually get more study in during swings now, probably because I'm wide awake. I work as an operations tech. -
