My commute sucks ass. With traffic it's about 3 1/2 hours a day in the car.
But I do get a $300/month gas stipend and the job does pay about $16/hr more than I made doing a similar job with about 2 hours a day in traffic. So the money part works out. I also live alone, so there's less reason to want to spend more time at the house than if I had a family.
