Have you been looking for a job for awhile with no luck? Do you need the money asap? Could you take the job but continue your search? Would there be room for growth and pay increase?

How old are you? If you are young, you'll be fine. I worked 10-12 hour days when I was younger, standing all day, with no problem.

Is it worth it for $9 an hour? Only you can decide that. If you need the money, you do what you have to do, and $9/hour is better than nothing.

I have had a four 10-hour day schedule and a three 12-hour day schedule before. Work days seemed like forever but having three or four days off each week is nice.

I work a job where I work 12 hour days, 7 days a week most of the time so I wish I was only working 10-12 hours/5 days a week. I typically get 1 weekend off a month. I do make more than $9 an hour though. Honestly, the only way I'd accept a job that pays $9 an hour would be if I was working more hours. That's just me though.

I hope you don't go into interviews and say you only want to work 8 hours a day. Unless the company is completely against overtime, you'd probably not get many job offers.

yes a person can do 10 to 12 hours shift if the salary package will be good.

$9/hr is minimum wage. It's hard to do anything with that, so most people would be pushing for additional hours and as many as possible.

Unless you live with your parents and just have a job for pocket $.

Back in the 70's and 80's i worked on a large crop farm. We often worked at least 60 hrs a week and during harvest about 70-74 hrs per week. I started out a $1.80 per hr.

You sound lazy.
