Just wanted to get an idea about what everyone's commute time to work is and how you feel about it.. I was having a discussion with SWMBO regarding a job that would possibly require a minimum of 50 miles and an hour each way without traffic, and I think there would be some traffic. I was trying to explain that I dont think or want to put up with that commute for very long. She was arguing that she "doesn't think its that bad."
Now I live around D.C. and I know what commute times are like around here and its bad. I used to take the metro and it would take a little over an hour every day. I really disliked that commute BUT it was somewhat bearable cause I could read on the metro for 35-40 minutes - I wasn't hitting the break and gas pedals. I was able to get my hours move around at my current job so I could come in earlier and now I drive and it takes 30-40 minutes, much better! This job would be Northern Delaware (newark/wilmington) and I would move in with SWMBO around the Dover Delaware area. Anyways, looking for others opinions on whether this commute is somewhat reasonable and I just need to suck it up, or if its more on the extreme end.
Thanks!
