What is the longest daily commute you would consider for a GREAT JOB?
I was offered the greatest job. But it is 45 miles away and would take me 90 minutes each way to arrive at work. I talk to people all the time who commute even longer but in today’s world of rising gasoline prices and heavy traffic, it seems like quite a burden. What would be your commuting limit?
Your time is valuable – you are worth way more than gasoline. If the job is that good, man, seriously consider moving closer.
For me I could only tolerate maybe 10 minutes in a car. I hate traffic – it’s a waste of my time, waste of gas (i.e. my money) and just downright offensive overall.
I ride a bicycle and it takes me 30 minutes to cover 8 miles, but I don’t really count that as “commute” time – that’s my time – excercise – feeling it – getting happy.
If I were to drive (and I have) it takes about 20-25 minutes -unless there is traffic… then it could be an hour or more!!!
Public transit takes about 45-50 minutes… unless the train breaks down – or the bus is late – or some idiots decide to get into a gang brawl…
So I am in the bonus no matter how I look at it. I truly wish everyone had the options I have. I’m not a snob, seriously – I feel for you folks who HAVE to drive.
