you have to free-lance, or practice on your own to have that kind of schedule. Or, become a consultant for a firm in a different time zone than yours (i.e. half-way around the world). Then again, if you fall into the standard business hours like most of us, once you gain more experience and know how, you may one day find yourself somewhere other than your desk, drawing.
I find it easy to work half days--any 12 of the 24 available in the day. I don't work from midnight to 6am but other than that, any hour is fair game for work or fun. An advantage (or consolation?) to self employment.
I have a couple of designers/drafters who work from home. Any hours that work for them. One of them works more or less normal hours; the other has a lot going on and works odd hours here and there. As long as they get stuff done when I need it, I don't care what hours they work.
When I used to work in an office, however, it was important that we were all there at more or less the same time; otherwise too much information was lost in communication. It's hard to find people you trust enough for them to handle their own schedule.

architecture firms with weird hours?
anyone know firms that I could work at weird hours like 3 am... it sucks wasting the sunshine looking at computer screen.
LOL! You'll be working 8AM till 3AM anyhow.
freelancing/self-employed you can do it. And I agree I'd rather draft in the early morning and do other things with my afternoon.
... then don't look at a computer screen all day. Problem solved.
Ain't got time for that, need to be construction drawing.
perfect business hours for client meets

Hey, gruen,
Curious, what does "PM me" mean?
