20 to 30 minute commute is within Roanoke city suburbs and Salem, based on my experience with traffic and getting from one area to the next. Any further you are looking at 30 to 45, sometimes maybe 1 hr commute depending on traffic and road work.

If you are looking to commute from Christiansburg and Moneta you are looking at leaving your house 30 minutes extra just incase there are accidents on I81 or detours.

Depends on your profession. If you are in medical profession then you might have a good career here. There are few other companies in other fields like IT, engineering, etc. but very limited. It really depends on your profession. Job search might get frustrating in Roanoke. Its not about your skills, its about the opportunities offered in the area. Try expanding your search to Virginia Tech & neighboring towns. Also check local newspapers as a lot of jobs are not posted online.
