Thing is its limited by geography. If I can't physically get to the job in under 30mins, then I can't get to the job on time, ever. Don't have kids, folks, unless you really actually want them. Don't just do it because you're 'at that stage in life'

    Mate I’ve done jobs that have had a 1.5hr commute before. What are you talking about?

    Congrats, but did you know that other people have problems that you don't? And that just because you can do something doesn't mean others can do it too?

    We all have our problems in life, and you overcoming yours is meaningless to other people overcoming theirs.

    But good job volunteering that your time is so worthless you're willing to waste 3 hours of it on a commute. The only time I've ever driven more than 45 min for a job was to a client site, and I was getting paid and the commute was part of my 8hrs.

    The person I replied to was implying they can’t commute longer than 30 mins because they have kids.

    In a thread about finding jobs.

    There’s a shedload of people including me for whom narrowing their job prospects down to only jobs within 30mins commute would be wishful thinking, and borderline ridiculous.

    My ‘mate what are you talking about’ was based on my perspective yes, but there’s large swathes of people who would laugh at your privilege.

    Nice for you I suppose. And nice of you to be so self-righteously hostile too.

    Oh fair enough if you’re ferrying them.

    So the 30mins is essentially from latest drop off, to acceptable show up time at work then.
