And how does you being rude to the OP when he asked for advice helping anyone?
I copped the response I did (call it rude or whatever) because the OP is clearly oblivious to the tens of thousands of people who grind away on the LIE and SSP, EVERYDAY. Some even from out of state.
"What? There's people who commute to/from CT/NJ!? No freakin' Way!"
Yes, son. 45 minutes is quite average for a commute on Long Island. You aren't doing anything extraordinary here. This is life.
Now, I could have totally sugar-coated it by saying to not compromise until OP find's his dream job, doing what your love and getting paid a great living to do it. Perhaps a job that will let you telecommute, all while being protected by a union, has a great pension, guaranteed 5% raises every 6 months, and a such highly respected profession that you get out of traffic stops and get free meals or 10% discounts at place you go to.
I'm sure if the OP waits long enough, something exactly like this will fall right into his web-surfing lap.

Harden up.
Instead of being rude, your response should have been something like "45 minutes is not a long commute by Long Island standards. Since you do not currently have a job, I suggest that you take this job, since jobs are hard to find. If you absolutely cannot tolerate the commute, then once you have some work experience and some money, try to either move closer to the job, or try to find a better job that is closer to your home and/or higher paying". Why couldn't you give a response like that?
