> Now, I dream of working at the suburban office park I can get to in 5 minutes (during rush hour) from my house, which is right across the street from my kid's day care. I agree with the appeal, but I've always found the biggest issue with this dream is the need for utter stability. If you quit your job, you might end up with a new one at an office 30 minutes down the highway. If your partner works, it's even harder to keep two commutes low. If you move with each new job, you may have to uproot your kid and send them to a new school.
