How long is your drive to work?....and what is a reasonable time to drive to work?

Question

I currently drive about 1hr and a 1/2 to work and feel that over time it will start affecting my ability to perform at work.......the bad thing is that i don't wonna leave the city will i grew up in for this job even though its a great career? any ideas

Answer 1

10 minutes, but I'm lucky that my job is down the street; however with more traffic everyday it might increase (eventually)

Answer 2

15mins and the good thing is that I always go opposite the direction of slow traffic to and from work. I hope it never changes.

Answer 3

I know how you feel.  You'll have to weigh out the pros and cons.  Remember to take into account the extra stress on your body.

Answer 4

currently my commute is 10 minutes. i like having a life and have moved with every job change to be closer to where i work.

Answer 5

To me, it depends on the type of driving your doing. I hate to inch along in stop and go traffic. It used to take me 1.5 to 2 hours to go 30 miles each way, that drove me nuts. I would much more tolerate driving 100 miles in that time.

Answer 6

I live in a small town about thirty miles from a big city.  Being that I am in construction my drive times are usually between an hour to hour and a half.  But I will never move because I love the peacefulness of small town life, but you make more money in the cities.

Answer 7

I currently have a commute that is between 30 and 60 minutes each way, depending on the day. It doesn't bother me that much because I view it as "me" time. I listen to books on CD and whatever music my g/f doesn't like.
