What kind of questions do you have? I used to work 12 hr over nights from 7pm to 7am. I did that for 5 years. I will soon be going to 2nd or 3rd shift, not for sure yet. When I worked those 12 hr days, I worked wed, thurs, fri, and every other sat. I gave that up to work in the mortgage business. I wish I would have stayed where I was. I made about the same money but had way better benefits. Now I have no benefits.

I'm in school to be a firefighter and just did a month at a firehall and worked shift work. IMO its the best. The variety of shifts and the nice days off are awesome. If you have a family it can suck I guess because working christmas and stuff sometimes but it all works out for the better in the end.

I work 1st and 2nd shift. I work 4 days on 1st, then 2 days off, then 4 days 2nd shift. I really like this b/c I can work first then train w/ a full stomach or workout and eat the rest of the day. I tried the 3rd shift crap and hated it. Couldnt get my sleep down and felt like a zombie!
