Reply to How long is to long of a commute. by bluecommet84

It’s not worth it.

It may be tempting, but the opportunity cost… the exhaustion…. Weather and then needing to use PTO because the commute is MUCH too long to white knuckle it during the snow or rain… an hour and 15 is really at least an hour and a half with accounting for variables and needing to be on time, you’re constantly needing to buy gas….

In my opinion, it would be better to move closer or not take the job.

This has been my favorite job for the last 15 years but the pay is horrendous. It’s just a side job for me now because of that. But it’s for sure such a wonderful way to accompany people in asserting their independence and autonomy and have a really dynamic work experience. But like you said… pay is like $16-$18/hour and it can be extremely demanding with tough hours. And there are much easier jobs that pay the same.
