[QUOTE="Steve in Phx, post: 1308014, member: 19242"] I have a question for those that have --or have had-- a long commute. I've always been blessed to have short commutes to work. Today my commute is [B]8 miles[/B] and takes only 20 minutes in my truck. But I have been miserable at this job. My doctor said to me yesterday, "get the hell out of there!" Enough said. So, I found another gig that would be a decent career move and a bit more money. However, it's [B]34 miles[/B] away, all freeway, literally on the complete opposite side of the metro phoenix area. Minimum 45 minutes each way. On the plus side, I could ride the FJR and use the HOV lane (it's legal here in Phoenix), but the summer heat would probably force me back into the truck for a few months. So, for those of you that have long commutes, I ask you... How bad would it be to commute this far every day? Is the right job worth it? Not a big deal? Or a show stopper? Easy peasy? Or am I nuts? Constructive feedback welcome. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
