>>>I found this exerpt interesting: "Whereas Swedes get more than thirty paid days off work per year and even the Brits get an average of twenty-three, Americans can hope for something between four and ten, depending on where they live."
>>
>>>I'm not sure where the numbers come from, but I thought the average for Americans was more like 8 to 12 holidays, and then 2 weeks vacation (or personal time off). All which is paid for by the employer. I get about 5 weeks vacation and 10 holidays, which is 30 paid days off per year. I'm pretty much the average in my company, having been here 3 years.

>>I don't know what the source it, but my source says about the same. Only a few days off in a year. I guess it really depends on where you live and work. I guess, you must regard yourself lucky.
>>
>>BTW, I'm an independant consultant and have nowhere near 30 days off a year.

>I did the independent thing for awhile. A bit scary, because you could end up having 365 days off a year!
Well then you have at least one day every 4 years :)
Walter,
