    On subject I've worked for any where from 20% to 28%. It all depends on what the percentage is of WHAT.

    For example I'd be happy to work for only 18% of $10,000 gross a week.

    But would be living in a hotel and not fighting traffic, searching for parking, the bears, DOT, scales, peeing in a bottle, not eating, idiot drivers & 4 wheelers, or wrecking. List could go on for days.
