Would you commute 1 hour each way for a job you REALLY wanted?

first of all, i've been looking for a job for 3 months.


i received a reply from a job that i want desperately. i've been trying to get into the veterinary feild for years and got a reply from a vet's office.


the only catch is that it's an hour away...so that would make it a 2 hour commute total.





the schedule is 4 - 10hr. shifts a week.


do you think that's worth it?|||Absolutely, it is worth it. It may seem daunting at first, but in the long run if it is something you truly want, you should do it.


Congratulations and good luck|||An hour really isnt that bad of a commute. It also depends on how much you are getting paid, and how much it costs to commute there.





If you are spending more than $40-$50 a week in gas, then it may not be worth it.


If you are taking public transportation, then it could be worth it, because it doesnt cost all that much.








It might help you out if you get the job, and then move closer to work.





I always live within a 10 minute drive of where I work....I hate commuting.





Once you get used to the commute, you wont even think about the time you are travelling.|||How much does it cost you to drive to work everyday. After gas in taken out of your paycheck, how much do you have left? Is this enough for bills and savings? If so, I would take the drive because its something I would absolutley enjoy. Then later you will have the experience to find something closer to home. Make sure this is reasonable financially though.|||depends how much it paid~it would have to pay for more than gas





I had to drive for field experience over an hour away~it wasn't too bad. I kind of find driving relaxing, so to answer your question, yes, I would.
