Idk, I decided to not work on Fridays (a 20% pay reduction, but I personally feel it's worth it) and there are like 50 weeks in a year, coupled with 5 weeks of payed vacation, since I only work 4 days that's 50+5*4=70, which is over 2 months. And since I have no homework I can actually fucking enjoy my vacation and long weekends too!

It just dawned on me I'm assuming you have the same work benefits as in Europe... If you live in a country that's not blue than YIKES! I feel sorry for ya.

"Minimum mandatory" is doing some distortion here. There are countries where the vacation days can only be reduced with extra payments.

I believe a much larger share of the world will fall into the last category if you focus on "number of vacation a person can expect to have at no cost if they want it". The 30 days is kinda of a standard.

US is generally 2wk(10 business days)allowed. 0 mandatory. There is state to state variation.
