The nature of my work was field based (telecommunications) It was very common for me to drive 100-300 miles to do 15 minutes to 2 hours worth of work, then drive another 100-200 miles to do it again, then another 100-200 miles and do it again, often in the middle of the night when we had a maintenance window. I wouldn't know how to act if I only had to drive 5 minutes to go to work. Even now after I retired I still keep three or four "irons in the fire". I always have several sources of income. I've never once met anyone I thought was truly successful that worked 40 hours a week, either......
