Real question, why did you take a job that required a 3-4 hour commute?

[-] jcit878@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

because all the work is in the city for my career. and thats 3-4 hours return, not each way. many people do that here

Damn, that sucks. I guess there's no option to live closer within budget or a competent train service?

not really. cost of housing is huge here. plus i like where i live and the kids all have schools established etc. its only a day or 2 a week i need to commute so its managable at least, but pre covid it was getting unbearable
