I don't feel like I could work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

こんにちは。質問ありがとうございます。

自然な英文になるように、「～で働くなんてやっていける気がしない」を「～で働ける気がしない」に変えました。

I don't feel like I could　→　～出来る気がしない
work → 働く
8 hours a day　→　１日8時間
5 days a week　→　週5日

「一日～時間」や「週～日」と言うときは、a かperを使います。

またの質問をお待ちしています。

I don't know if I could work 8 hours a day 5 days a week.
I feel like I won't be able to work 8 hours a day 5 days a week.

If you want to express to someone that you aren't sure if you will be able to work 8 hours a day 5 days a week, you can say something like "I feel like I won't be able to work 8 hours a day 5 days a week." This is a good way to say this without coming off as snobby or rude.

I don't think I'll be able to work such long hours 5 days a week!
Working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week seems exhausting. I don't think I can do it!

"long hours" typically refers to a situation where you have been busy for a long time. It always refers to someone working all the time. You can use this when you say that someone is never home and always at work- "My friend works long hours."

"exhausting"- This is a synonym for "tired/tiring". I used "exhausting because it is more expressive than just saying that something is "tiring".

I don't want to work a 9 to 5, 5 days a week.
I don't think I'm capable of working 8 hour days for 5 days a week.

Working a 9-5 means working from the hours of 9am till 5pm. Which are the normal office hours, which is an 8 hour day. (9am till 5pm, Monday to Friday). Saying that you don't feel like you are capable of something means that you don't think that you can do something/achieve something.

A eight hour a day, five days a week job sounds impossible for me.

I really don't want to finish my studies.
No? How come?

You'll get used to it, don't worry.
I worry. I worry a lot.

I hope that helps.
Have a great day.

I don't think I can work full-time at the moment

You can say that you don't think that you can work full time at the moment. Full-time work usually consists of working 5 days a week for 8 hours per day.

I don't want a 9 to 5 job.
I don't want to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Notice we have two different names for this type of work or career; we can either call it a, "9 to 5 job," which more or less describes a regular corporate job that goes from Monday to Friday during standard business hours. The second example shows the same information but with more words and description.

I'm not up for working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.
I'm a student, I cannot work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

You can use any of the above two sentences to express that you are tired and you cannot work those long hours everyday.

Examples;
- I'm not up for working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.
or
- I'm a student, I cannot work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.
