I recently took a job in the Bay Area, commuting from the Central Valley, which is about 118 miles one way. The first couple of months went well, but then my mother kicked me out, leaving me with a grueling 2-hour commute each way, totaling 4 hours of driving daily. I wake up at 2:30 AM just to make it to work by 5:55 AM after a quick nap in my car. At $24 an hour, I’m starting to question if this is worth it. The long hours on the road, especially over a dangerous mountain pass, are taking a toll on my mental health. I'm considering whether I should just leave the job altogether. It feels like a soul-crushing routine, and I'm not sure how much longer I can keep this up.
