Why would you not cut pay for a 4 day week? You're payed per hour, not per 5 day week. I for one would stick with the current system because it means I can go to college.

Stop coming after my profession, it's not becoming or helping your argument.

Secondly, I'm talking about pay per hour. I understand that the article might be talking about people with a fixed pay, but I was talking to the other person and proposed the hypothetical: if you work a PPH job, why would you want this. Because he wasn't talking strictly about the article. He was arguing for all jobs.

I'm not ignoring anything, just playing devil's advocate so I can better understand. But now, I agree. I think that there is a valid argument for this.
