I once had a 3 to 4 hour commute round trip. Never again. I'm willing to take less to get the time. You can't ever get that time back.

Do what you hate least, and keeps you close to home, and an hour away is too far

This aged very well. Glad I found it. Suggestion do an updated one, $5.05 a gallon is a rare find in SW WA. Got a Costco membership for gas

Legit for anyone here comtemplating this. Do the math. If it turns out the difference is only a hundred or two hundred a month in income but you have 30 minute or less communte. Take the closer job. Fuck driving for an hour or more. That is 2 fucking hours unpaid and wasted time coming to and from work. Not including the frustration in traffic.

Well, the industry I work in is mostly located in secluded areas and a 1.5hr to 2hr one way commute by public transport is pretty common.

Not worth it, right now I'm being offered a job 1 hour 15 min commute and the pay is $30/hour here in California that is nothing

Long commute seems ok, I live in a rural town with less cost of living and my monthly mortgage on my house is 1/4 of my monthly salary. I work in San Francisco coz the pay is high and just do a 2 hour commute each way goin to work and back home. Good thing I work permanent graveyard shift so no traffic goin to work and goin home coz in the morning traffic is on the opposite way 😆 plus i have fixed sunday mondays off 😜 drives a tesla and charges it when i get home i save on my electric bill coz i break even with my solar panels and battery 👍

I am offered almost 21 bucks per hour to drive about 40 minutes, one way. To a job. Vs a 14-15 bucks an hour job that will take me 15 mins máx to get there. Cant decide. Any advise. ???
