What this girl apparently doesn’t realize is that for many of these professional jobs, there are millions of immigrants from places like Mumbai and Beijing who think a two-hour commute (each way) to a job in New York City or Philadelphia or Los Angeles is a dream life.
A 2 hour commute would be untenable. Understood. Time to relocate.
I can’t relate as I was 15 minutes from my dream job for many years, and then 2-5 seconds (bed to desk) when we hung our own shingle.
Calls to Phoenix from east coast came as early as 4:30, so separate bedrooms were necessary.
Later, my trusty Macbookair reduced commute to literally zero.
4 hours commuting every stinking day...egads.
Again, we can thank the previous generations for importing armies of Third Worlders to work for slave wages.
