I have an interview for a job that is about 30 minutes away by car, but it would take me 1 hour and 30 minutes by bus. I'm really unsure if this commute is worth it, especially since the work hours are from 9 to 5, meaning I wouldn't get home until around 7 PM. I can't drive yet, and taking an Uber would be way too expensive for me. I've been considering the impact this long commute would have on my quality of life. Some people have suggested that I should think about other job options or even moving closer in the future. Others pointed out that this commute adds three hours to my workday without pay, which could significantly reduce my effective wage. I remember how exhausting it was to commute to university for 1 hour and 15 minutes before everything went online during COVID. It really drained me. I started my job search in October and bought a car in February, which has made a huge difference in my commuting experience.
