would you take a job that takes a hour to drive to ??

Depends on the pay, career goals, etc.

 

[DontDoIt]

I have a job that sometimes takes an hour and a half to get to

 

[NotaPAWG]

Yeah my job I have right now is an hour away but I love it.

Job I had before this one was an hour away, too. And the one before that. Went in for 6 and was out by 3 An hour isn't even that long of a drive lol

Only thing that sucks is my o2 sensor is busted so my car eats up gas

 

[Pineal Gland]

It has to pay well... my current one is 15 minutes on a bad day

 

[Idaeo]

my commute is 50 miles/one way.... 1-1.5 hr.

however...I'm out on biz travel 60-80% of the year. so I don't have to make the commute all that often

like old folks pissin, i guess it all depends

I wouldn't want that life, but it would be a necessary evil. Both uncle and aunt that live in Dallas (DeSoto.... Suburb in south metro) drives 45 minutes to 1hr every day to their jobs. The cost to live in downtown would eat up all of their income. They've been hustling since they moved to Duncanville from Oklahoma in the late 80's.... They're completely secure now though.... 500-750K house that they live in, 3 expensive autos and still own the HUD home that my cousin now lives in.

Yeah I did. I was working in a warehouse making $9/hr. Found an IT help desk job starting at $20/hr.

An hour both ways but it was more than worth it.

 

[Boogie]

Gotta be 6 figures.

My last job, and the one im about to get, will pay all my months bills with less than half of my first check.

That is worth the hour drive. Days off be like

This exactly the shyt im aiming for. Getting my certs and hitting this job I just got,then put in work next year to get in proper IT. 20 to start is nothing to sneeze at.

 

[The Bilingual Gringo]

shyt I still think about how lucky I got. Lol. The warehouse job had me putting tools in a toolbox on an assembly line. 8 hours a day... Damn my day just got a lot better thinking about where I used to be. Lol

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

Its a good time to listen to podcasts and make your phone calls. gotta just relax if the money is right.

 

[QuintessentialBM]

Gotta be 6 figures.

In my family case, this seems to be the case.... not counting my uncle's coins, but he is a rail supervisor for DART and he refs high school football games, on top of, event security at American Airlines Area....

His wife is basically a nursing director.... has to drive one hour to DFW International and travels all over the US.... definitely over 6 figures....

This is worth a 45 minute to one hour drive.
