I have less time for mylot now. Why? Because my job moved me 1 1/2 away from my

In the past I have travelled via car & train 1 - 2 hours travel each way...when I drove, most of this time was spent sitting in a traffic jam but when on the train, this is just how long it took for me to get to work & then walking to & from the train station too. i hate the travelling but if it means money then, yeah, I would do it. I know it's tiring but when I travelled on the train, it was good because I was able to catch up on reading my books.

Hi sergeantrom, when I worked in a city in England the worst part of my day was the commute. It was only actually about eight miles away but it could take nearly an hour somedays. I couldn't drive in as the traffic on the motorway would be at a practical stanstill in the morning with everyone stuck in their cars and then no cheap parking at the other end. So it was the train with the endless delays and being packed in like sardines. Then all over again on the way back. We just do it and dream of the day we can stop. I've stopped now and thank goodness for no more commuting.

I've done the long commute thing before, and it really does suck to lose all that time (not to mention all the costs of traveling: gas, vehicle repair, etc). I wouldn't advise you to walk away from a job in this economy but when things improve I think you should look for something closer to home.

In this day I would definitely keep the job as jobs are hard to come by. I used to travel close to 2 hours to work back about 15 years ago. I had a GREAT job, great pay and couldn't resist. I was able to take a train however, so I wasn't actually "behind the wheel" for that long. I just recently went back to work, that is why I haven't been on mylot that often. Actually it is about 6:30 a.m. right now, and I will have to go to work in about 10 minutes....so I have limited time as well. Have a super day!!!

I wouldn't do that long commute. But if I really needed to keep that job, I would do the commute. In this economy you pretty much have to keep any job you have because it is extremely hard to find a new one. Sorry to hear about you long drive to and from work everyday!
