How long would THAT take? > > So for me: > 1) commute by car, single occupant, 5 days a week. > 2) about 100 miles each direction. I now cheat. I rent a room 4 miles from job site. I do long commute monday am or Sunday PM to site and home Friday pm before rush hour. > 3) long commute 2 hrs without weather or traffic problems, short commute 6 min to 10 min. > 4) No public transportation available. The room cost less than the gas and I get 4 hours of my life back 4 days a week. Not ideal for family but with 2 in college (studying engineering) the money saved helps pay tuition and other costs. I can do extra consulting from anywhere so have laptop will travel.
