Jon Gosselin just wants to be an average Joe.

"I wish I had a 9-to-5 job instead of the nightmare I'm living. This is 24/7," the 32-year-old reality TV dad told US Magazine Monday. "I don't even want to do taping for the show anymore."

Citing burnout over his contract commitments and the endless promotional appearances, Gosselin implied that, at $75,000-per-episode, he feels underpaid.

"I have two houses and eight children to take care of, and I need to work," the sour Gosselin said as he helped his kids with a lemonade stand to benefit a local fire department.
