We all have Henry Ford to thank for starting the 9-5 work schedule in 1926. Since then, people have either loved or hated (mostly hated) this system. Some folks simply chose not to give into the grind, and we compiled a list of their responses, some of which may surprise you.
Bored Panda interviewed Aaditya Surve, a music producer and sound designer working in the ad industry, to understand how he evaded the 9-5 work life while managing the music alias Iridescent Grapevine and band The Flying Fish. He had a lot to share!

I’m an academic. Most days I work 10-4 plus many hours in the evenings.

Mechanic. I do 9-1. Not the "1" that would make it a good life.

I make car parts for the American Working Man because that's what I am, and that's who I care about...after hours.

Physician. And I worked a bunch of jobs before medical school. I guess the closest I came to a 9-5 job was doing 8 am to 6 pm six days a week changing tires at a truck mechanic. .

Teacher in higher education. Why work 5 days a week when 3 pays the bills. Some weeks have 4 days of work some have barely 3. Pretty good gig tbh.
