I don't understand this about American society. Why can't I take a job doing something in my degree field (accountancy) that pays a comparable hourly rate (notice I didn't say that it paid the same....just that it is comparable on a per hour worked basis)? I could get the same volume of work done in 60% of the time anyway because of all the bs. Why is it unacceptable for someone to work in an "educated field" and work less time? I don't understand this...everywhere else in the industrialized world, this is excepted...just not in America.

Yeah. I read this twice and have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm basically saying that "face time" is a lot of what constitutes work in America. Cutting out at least some (not all) of the garbage time would be nice.

It's slowly changing, but the standard of being paid by the hour is not uniquely American.
