how many miles do you drive to get to work?

panicos81 · 01-19-2012, 03:32 PM

i just got an offering from my work to work at an other office..the money is better but its around 40 miles away..

so how many miles do you drive to get to work?

NYCGP · 01-19-2012, 03:35 PM

Do a cost analysis to determine if it is worth your time/money. Unless hearing that someone else has to drive as far as you might have to is enough to make a decision concerning your employment. (which I hope to god it isn't)

Oh yeah.. and there are about 10 separate threads about THIS EXACT TOPIC.

7mi.

grieverr · 01-19-2012, 03:37 PM

I drive 38 miles of pretty awful traffic! The only good thing is I get to listen to a lot of music and talk radio, and by the time I get home whatever may have bothered me from work is all gone.

you're a smart man...

I used to only have to drive 25 miles to work but it would take 2 hours each way.. When the opportunity presented itself.. I moved. Never jeopardize an opportunity for advancement for the sake of luxury. Otherwise you will forever be recognized as someone who isn't willing to take the necessary steps to further your career with that company.

silvergray545 · 01-19-2012, 03:56 PM

28 miles. I'm still a student but a commute is still a commute.

solefald · 01-19-2012, 04:03 PM

19-24 miles each way, depending on the route i take.

nmulax · 01-19-2012, 04:06 PM

32 miles each way… sucks, but it was a good career opportunity.

bolinp78 · 01-19-2012, 04:07 PM

7.15 miles

Pcemkr · 01-19-2012, 04:18 PM

Wise! Never thought of it like that. I moved almost 500 miles for a new job.

6 miles...l.a. miles though

Wolf · 01-19-2012, 04:49 PM

13-14 miles at 6 am with no traffic

roymorales · 01-19-2012, 05:04 PM

101 miles round trip

aynahko · 01-19-2012, 05:11 PM

^^^ wowzers!!! Mine was about 60 miles round trip. But I worked graveyard so traffic was never really an issue at night or early morning. Driving my car is therapeutic for me so even if I had to drive farther I wouldn't mind it at all

PsychoSlug · 01-19-2012, 05:21 PM

20 miles each way. Takes me 30-40 minutes depending on traffic.

I think I actually started a similar thread about a year and a half ago. I was contemplating a job that had a 40 mile commute each way. Decided not to take it. I have since found my current job and I think my commute is perfect. My previous drive was 3 miles, which took 8 minutes. Not far enough.
