Schoolwork is an average of 4-5 hours per day.
Actual work is null.

So I sit at home eating lots of BACON and plotting to bring down the free world. Or at least Primart.

Do any of these count as work also?
- Browsing internet, reading news, blogs, CP, etc.
- Sitting around canteen, making coffee, reading newspapers.
- Chatting with colleges about nothing, hours away.
- Hitting the shitter, or having a cigarette outside.
If you take away all of them, how much work will be left, if any at all?
Let's agree to disagree!

Interesting to review the answers. Consultants interpret the question as "how many hours do I get paid for each day" and answer 4-8. Regular employees ask the question "are you asking how many hours am I at work, or how many hours I'm coding." If we could break this out by consultant/regular employee, I'll bet we'd get pretty different distributions.

But where can you find [decent] contracting work (i.e. those from rentacoder or freelancer.com don't count) which doesn't require that you be onsite during normal work days?

No idea. I'm one of those rather timid folk who has always worked as an employee.

seems like for individuals, most contracting work are sh*t lowly paid jobs for either those who has no permanent jobs or those from India/China
at least those from rent-a-coder or freelancer.com

no i don't have steady fulltime job, but thought of freelancing comes to my mind every so often (or thought of one day just quit day jobbing altogether)
any suggestion where to look?

If you were to track every minute you actually worked, it wouldn't add up to 8 to 10 hours a day. I didn't believe this until I tracked my hours, on paper, for a work week and I was only working 5.5 hours in a 8.5 hour work day.
Try it sometime. Very interesting.

By working I think they mean trading their time for money.
I agree though that productive hours are only 40-60% of the time.

What do you call working?
Are meetings working?
Are admin / HR related tasks working?
Is reading articles or websites about industry or technology related to your job working?
Is thinking time working?
Is going for a little walk to clear a mental blockage working?
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

Whatever the individual is getting paid to do. If you are getting paid to pick your nose, then I guess, you are working.
