The commute isn't worth it to me.

yep - factor in the commute time and Job A seems the better option to me

Job A.

Or get job B and move

I'd lean towards Job A, given the information you provided. Are we to assume all else is equal?

I communte 42 miles to work each way and it takes a big toll on your day. Just factor in that you will be losing that much time to driving and not working out or whatever else you do. I would suggest moving. I am hoping to find a job closer to where I live.

if your single 50K is a very decent wage (at least here in MN)

how much are you going to be spending on car maintainence and gas with that 130 mile drive 5 days a week?

i would definitely go for job A

 

[wasssup]

That's way too long of a commute. I'm driving 110 miles/day right now and it sucks ass.

 

[pontifex]

job a
i used to drive about 26 miles one way to work and it took me about 50 minutes to an hour to get there because of traffic. going home took about an hour to an hour and 10 minutes because of traffic. i hated it. 2 hours out of my day just for traveling to and from work.

i now work 30 minutes from home and its 10x better. plus i'm going the opposite way of traffic which helps a lot too.

 

[j00fek]

the commutes are not woth it these days. go with A all the way 😛

 

[ch33zw1z]

A for sure. Less travel time the better.
