  One needs to remember that there are many more factors at play. Sometimes the only place you can afford a decent size family home will be in an area with lower wages. Hence it can make economical sense to have to take a higher paying job that requires travel in order to afford to provide for your family. There are many factors at play in such decisions. "Having a choice" is something you do not always have depending on personal circumstances.
