An hour each way, done it, won't do it again unless it's a lot of $$$$$
s/o how far is "too far" for you to commute to work?

If it's paying enough I'd drive anywhere. I'd say anything over 35 minutes sucks for a job you don't love or make a lot of money at.

I had a job for 4 years where I commuted an hour each way. I really didn't mind it that much because I liked the job and the route I took was as nice a
route as I could imagine.

I'd be willing to travel as far as necessary for a good job that pays well.

I have a 5 minute commute now, and I used to have a 1.5 hour commute. I refuse to go back to having anything more than a 30 minute commute. It's just such
a waste of time. I'd rather pay more to live close to work than have to have a long commute.

45-60 minutes would be too much. I commute about 30-40 minutes depending on the traffic and it's not too bad.

I was wondering about this just yesterday.

I only commute 5 minutes to work at my main site, but that can extend up to 30 minutes if I have to work at another site. I wouldn't go more than 30
minutes for driving.
I commute an hour for school if I take the train (2 nights a week). I wouldn't drive that far, but the train is fine since I have built in study time

I wouldn't care to go longer than my current 30-minute commute. It gets long enough when there's snow or major traffic.
Now if I could take a train and not drive, I could handle a longer commute since I could relax instead of getting all wound up in traffic. |

I drive about 20-21 miles to work and it takes 40-45 minutes. The morning doesn't bother me it's the EVENING commute that bothers me. Ugh.

I go into Houston...usually takes 45 minutes, no traffic it only takes 22. It's unfortunate because it seems there are no shortcuts either, going home
I'm talking about!!!
