I'm approaching 16 pages for one I started today, and I'm wondering...

What's the longest paper you've written for school or in your line of work?

I've written at least a dozen over 20 pages, and one for a business class that was over 200 pages. About 50 of those were financial statements, the rest was just bullcrap.

I had to do 2 20 page research papers in college, but my Accounting 2 practice book was a LOT more work than that.

I think the longest I've written was 12 pages. Law Enforcement related. The one that held my interest for the longest time was my paper on John Stuart Mill - On Free Speech

My BA requires a 30+ page thesis, with the goal being quality worthy of academic publication. I'm working on it now as a matter of fact.

22 or 23, I forget. I typically get 10-15 page papers though, although the longest was probably the easiest.

I agree completely. It's easy to write more. When I get scared is when the prof tells you to write a one or two page paper. Cutting down is SOOOO Much harder than padding.

22-23 pages.

for me, the opposite is true; i can write succinctly. Padding it is more tedious and detestable for me.
