I couldn't drive that far each way on a regular basis to save my life! Well, maybe for that but not for a job - even one with a great deal, a great deal of perks aside from the good pay and appreciation and all of that. That much car-time is not my idea of a career or a life. When there is a traffic jam, it can take 2 1/2 hours to get home! I do so hope you can fine a better job closer to home before too long. Hold out for closer as long as you can. |
I left a job that I was at for 7 years, it was a 38 mile ride each way. The highway was awful, 2+ hour commutes. I couldn't do it anymore! That's why I don't want to work that far away everyday! I want a life too!
