<prompt> Human: Hey guys,So I was offered a full time job in my field for 15hour but the location is 1 hour away. I am getting married in a couple months so the commute will probably change to 40-45 minutes but I calculated that currently it would cost me about 12.50 a day for gas and tolls. Also currently I would be able to carpool, but in 2 months I wont be able to carpool anymore. I know they said there might be a raise after a month and it is in my field but I am hesitant to accept because it is 2 hours a day I will spend in the car but Im unsure if Im just making a big deal out of driving an hour. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!  <response>: Dont forget wear and tear on a car. Some people have 1 hour commutes but are only going 15 miles. Other people have 1 hour commutes and are going 70 miles. Tires and oil changes and all that add up if you are putting on a ton of miles. So LOTS of people commute 1 hour a day. TONS of people take at least 30 minutes to get to work. So what you are proposing it not insane. Now if you are someone who wants a 5 minute walk to work, then you gotta be a little more choosy about where you live and work. 15 bucks an hour is just a notch above retail and fast food, and giving up probably 2 hours of take home pay a day just for commuting costs seems like a steep price. The real question I suppose is what are your alternatives. Do 13hr jobs exist 10 minutes away, if you drove 2 hours could you get 25hr?How hard is it to move even closer, etc.
