Based off some of the replies on this thread, it doesn't look like Congress will vote on this anytime soon and if they do then everything leans towards no extensions. I'll cross my fingers for a job soon
What would anyone consider a reasonable limit to commute distance/time to a job? You have to consider the wear and tear on your car, gas, salary and how far and how long you can stand driving (i.e., quality of life). I'd rather take a little less money with a more livable commute, personnally. I did a 55 mile each way commute for a year and half and it took a terrible toll on me. I'd probably take a long-distance commute if offered, but would continue to look for another job closer. I'd be interested to see what others consider a reasonable distance.

i would take $200 less a week on a full-time job driving 5 miles to work rather than 55 miles each way. the gas, maintenance cost, car value, and 2 hours less driving makes that an easy choice in today's economy.

30 mins? When I lived in Chicago that was the driving portion then I got on a train for another 30 mins. If I had not taken the train and instead rode buses and the el my commute would have been closer to 2 hrs. 30 mins in a big city isn't very far!

When UC has ended and there's no money to take even a bus, first shift at the sandwich shop on the corner looks good and is doable!
