HOW LONG IS TOO LONG TO TRAVEL TO WORK???

Some jobs require people to travel soooo much just to get there! I’m fortunate enough to where I only live about 10-12 minutes from my job but I’m still sometimes late I don’t get it 😭

Do you think you travel too far for work? Or do you think it could be a lot worse?

Until next time:)~

I keep getting farther from home and earlier in the morning 😂 first job was 9am, 11am, or 1pm and it was a 5min drive. Second drive was 845am and a 17min drive. Third was 830am and a 27min drive. Current is 8am - I work in 6 different state run group homes - the closest is 37mins and the farthest is 48mins, but I’m hybrid so I don’t have to commute every day and it’s a nice balance.
