That's not a huge amount. Say you have a mere half-hour commute = 1 hour a day x 250 working days a year, your $7800 turns into $31.20 an hour for the most boring work you'll ever do - even a truck driver usually gets to see different scenery from day to day.
And that's if you manage to live a mere half-hour from work, which in any major city is seriously unlikely.
If you're good at tech, why would you take a second job as an automobile driver for chump change?
- orangecat 16y agoExactly. One of the few clear-cut results of happiness studies is that commuting really, really sucks. I can understand why telecommuting might not work for some companies, but there's rarely an excuse for not offering flexible hours, so you can at least dodge rush hour by coming in earlier or later.

- ddlatham 16y agoI agree, but the comment was turning the table around and looking at it from the employer's perspective. If enough employees continue to be willing to commute for a mere 5-15% more in salary, then employers will continue to, quite rationally, pay them to do so.
