| Mar 31, 2021 at 19:15 | comment | added | Astralbee | @mirthspritzsultryobscurantism I explained it already. "Where" links something that actually happens at the job, to the job. Your example sentence means you don't need experience or skills at the job. The example in your question is about something that doesn't happen at work. Free time is outside of work. So it is wrong to say you have a job 'where' you have free time - you need to say you have a job that gives you free time. If you really, really want to say "where" then say "I have a job where I work fewer hours, so I have more free time". | |
