What are the jobs with the shortest hours per week

or jobs with the shortest schedule per day? Like 4 hours a day?

I'm just a fresh grad out of business school, still on the job hunting
I was thinking what jobs that has only the shortest hours per week or per day
Because I am putting up my own small business on the side and
I want more free time to build up my business instead of being busy at work all day with all heptic schedules and forced overtime
I've already got my business plans all ready and I have capital required, I have no student loans and I live with my family (sister, brother and parents which all are working) so we share the expenses

So what type of jobs have the least chaotic schedule and have more free time for the day?
Thanks in advance

I don't mean to put you down but it would appear that you'r on the wrong forum/website- it is highly unlikely that you'd get pertinent information to that question here because 1) most of the guys here work or would like to work in jobs where 12-hour days are pretty much standard (or 16 if you'r in IB at BBs). 2) a 4/5/6- hour job is a part-time job. just google for more info or use your imagination (temp assistant/Walmart or Burger King cashier etc)

Also, on that note, I'd recommend that you focus your full time on your business. You'd only be doing yourself and your business a disservice by not going all in (in terms of time and effort).

Hope that helped, and good luck.

 

I'm in asset management. Its a semi quant firm so the model are pretty static. As a trader i work about 8-4. The research analysts work about 9-5. I rarely see people in the office consistently and there's lots of working from home.
