Would you do this? Or am I being taken for a ride?

I currently work for £65 a day. Hours vary, but an example today I worked 8 - 4 30 with half an hour travelling time either way. So in total I was away for 9.5hrs. Anyway, I have been asked to work from 4am to 11am for the same money. That doesn't include approx 1 1/2 hrs traveling time either way..so in total 3 hours travelling time giving a day of 10hrs. I've recently been given an extra £5 a day... giving £65 which I think is to 'keep me happy' working these hours.
Am I being taken for a ride here? Would you do this?

Well it works out at more than minimum wage, asuming you don't count the commute to/from work which most people don't.

Well no, I wouldn't; I earn a lot more than that. If that was the most money I could earn, I imagine I would. It's certainly at the low end of the scale so if you can get a better job, go and get it; if you can't; there's nothing fundamentally wrong or illegal about that one.0

I don't, because I earn more.
But I have in the past. When I needed to.Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....0
