commuting?

[alex_m]

16 miles (or 25 mins) at the moment, which is good.

i was doing 48 miles (upto 1.5 hours!!) last year - so glad i found something closer!

depends what you are after, if its experience then you can travel a fair bit and its worth while, if its to makie money then you will need to do your math on wear and tear on your vehicle, and if you have kids then you want to be able to see them as much as possible.

personally if i can i stick to trains now whenever i have to travel anywhere of distance but where i live your about 40 mins from the nearest motorway so you dont go anywhere fast!

when i worked in keilder it took ruffly hour and a half from carlisle bit longer if u got stuck behind a timber wagon or a low loader with a forader or harvester on

I have commuted an hour each way. I got sick of it in the end, what a waste of life. At the end of the day whats it worth. A long commute for good money, good experience or because you have to is fine you just have to think of travel costs. But rather 5 minutes than 1 hour any day.

If you truly want and need the work the travel won't matter. You price this into the job/ wage you expect.

Go where the money is, i am on the train to Plymouth at the moment (PDA as modem- top stuff) which is hour and a half on the train or in the landy, but 1/4 of the price if i go on the train, and the gear i need is already on site.

 

When needs must, the devil drives, as they say.....

dont mind distances, just hate queing slow stopstart traffic, waste of life and fuel..

It all depends on how much you like the job!!! I've willing done nearly 2 hours each way before for very little pay, but the work was worth it. A good exercise in cost/benefit analysis .
