That's not so much. I'm a self-employed, small business owner, and it's a rare week when I work less than 60 hours. There are lots of weeks when I work over 80 hours. Although, some of those hours are spent here, so I'm not going to pretend that I work 60 or 80 hard hours. It's still putting in time and being answerable to job demands though.
