Neither.

Dawg, you can do better. Yeen gone make it 2 weeks doing all that walking. Like someone said, you’d be better off getting a job at the Walmart or local grocery store, and stacking your bread. Get a cheap car then consider one of these jobs

Im trying to get back right FAST. Im 27 I need get it together now, I fukked off my money doing dumb shyt and not being smart. A 15/hour job wont cut it for me. Especially since thats what I was making when I first started at the post office when I was 21.

3 hour walk every day 1 way??
breh do you know how long 3 hours is?

Yes I walk 3-5 hours pretty often. Not as much as I used to but Im accustomed to it by now.

Breh…Im not even here to brag but I did 500k from the comfort of my apartment last year.


Spending 10 hours driving for $432 is not some shyt to be bragging about.

I'm a computer/security engineer but most of my bread comes from my business and reselling online.

Yall some good folks on here. Helpful people. Wish yall the best

Is there any city in America that large that even has a 3 hour commute on a train? Even here in NYC it does not take 3 hours to commute from South Jersey or PA.






Anyways it comes down to the expense of traveling. If the cost are outrageous then I might just take the 19 per hour.


I know some people who make so much money that they have monthly pass to take the AmTrak train from DC/Philly to NY

Riverhead NY to the North Bronx might take 3 hours during rush hour

Nah I quit. They making these changes to were all the junior regulars will get laid off so I beat to the punch. They WERE going to fire me though (the nerve of them too. I worked my ass up there) because I went off on a supervisor. But some of my old supervisors/managers from there gave me the OK to use them as references, they've put in a good word for me a few times.

Idk what to tell you. I left 5 years ago. Sorry fam. Try to look into similar work, have you tried the UPS on Kansas Ave?

Nahhh, I don’t fukk with dropshipping AT ALL.

Covid already has shipping bad enough as is. I resell from thrift stores, garage sales, and online arbitrage.

Nah I aint fukking win UPS, Amazon, Fed Ex, etc. The commute would be the same as the rail wheel job too I think.

Riverhead NY to the North Bronx might take 3 hours during rush hour

True that all though I doubt anyone does that. I use to commute everyday to Riverhead in Brooklyn and I had to leave my house 3 hours ahead and drive for more then 2 hours due to traffic

 

[Lucky Millionaire]

i personally couldnt do a 2 or 3 hr commute shyt i might as well move to whatever city that job is in

the most i'd commute for a job is 90 min...anything longer can
