      Are 12 hour days with 7 day work weeks the average there?

      That sounds awful and I really hope your friend gets a better job soon

      • Employers in that overall region will try to fuck you in that way, specially if you’re in an area where there aren’t that many opportunities, especially for young people. A friend of mine with 2 years experience and a masters degree can only find 6 month “internships” that barely cover rent. They’re on their 4th or 5rh internship now, because once the internship is over, they’re offered a part time position that pays roughly the same for the same hours and requires you to be on call all the time, so you can’t get a second job.
