re: What's the max distance you'd be willing to drive for work?

1-2 hours for something really spectacular (talking like dream job).

My dream job is at home with my kids. So 2-4 hours commute every day to pay the bills... frick that

I work 14/14. Paducah, Kentucky to Grand Isle. Roughly 680 mile one-way. 9 hours stopping for gas only, usually maintain 80mph. Gotta do what ya gotta do.

30 minutes.

Commuting distance is a major factor that contributes to job satisfaction. As commuting distance increases, so does risk for health problems, stress and depression.

Too long. The problem with distance is it never gets shorter and can only take longer due to traffic. Most normal commutes deal with traffic and, as such, can be shortened depending on when you are travelling. My morning commute is about 30-45 minutes. Make the same drive at 10 a.m. and it is about 13 minutes. Laffy to Metry is going to always take at least the same minimum amount of time and can only get worse. You may find yourself taking more days or 1/2 days off because you can't reasonably go home and meet a contractor, kid conference at school, etc. then return to work.
