Should I quit? - Help.com

How long does it take you to travel there?

Better yet, how much money do they pay you? Is it worth it?

My office is 7 miles away and it takes me 90 minutes to get there and sixty to get back. Still, I love what I do. What do you do? And do you love doing it?

If not, what are you passionate about, so much so that you’d drive 75 miles to do it?

Do you walk to work or what?!

are there any jobs closer to you that you would like, that will pay you well?

I live on one side of the city, the office is on the opposite. I walk, bus, train, bus, and walk a little each day.

That’s one hell of a long time to take to cross such a short space.

If you can accomplish other errands while you are commuting either to or from, that would help break up the monotony of all that driving. I would not quit just because the commute to work is too long.

1 hour 30 minutes w/ no traffic but usually there is traffic so closer to 2 hours

The pay… It’s not great at all. Maybe working 4 days a week about 400. I drive a truck and it gets maybe 15 miles to the gallon. So it cost a little over 100 a week just in gas getting to work not including personal errands etc..

I used to hitchike to my job when I was younger! 2 blocks 1 way! It was murder in the summer!

I suggest you get a new job…Closer to home and one that you really love

Then personally I would try to find a different job. If you can’t then stick with it for the time being, but I would always be looking for a job that suited me better. Regardless of how good any job is, there’s always a better one out there, that’s the way I look at it anyway.

Can you move closer and can you afford to move closer?

Not sure… Here’s the thing I am a college student (19) and I was manager of a store closer to me for about 2.5 years or so and the company decided to close a ton of stores last november.

So i have not been looking for a job just having fun…So maybe a week or so ago the corporate office called me maybe 3-4 times and kept asking if I wanted to work there…I finally said sure I’ll try it out and so I am working there

I am not in need of a job

Yea I really do not have any other errands because I am a college student Most of everything I do is pretty close to where I live
