A cool job that I may have is 100 miles away (200 miles roundtrip) near Palmdale. The job is cool, but Palmdale not so much. Is it feasible (it’s been done before, can be sustained) to commute from Santa Monica to Palmdale 5 days a week? (get up at 5am, leave at 6am, arrive at work at 8am, 8-4:30pm, return at 630pm, sleep at 9am). Possible? This means 200 miles / day x 5 days x 4 weeks = 4000 miles / month x 12 = 48,000 miles a year.

no your gonna be burnt out in a week!
you just cant do it, its too far.
look for another job or move closer to this one.
Sure it’s feasible. But you’re going to be burned out very soon, and it’s going to cause a lot of stress and tension. I’d suggest moving to Palmdale, or if you cannot move for family reasons, get a small apartment, stay there from Monday morning to Friday night, and go back to Santa Monica on the weekends.
something you didnt factor in is the amount of money you’d be getting paid. driving 200 miles a day is insane.. and i recommend you only do so for big bux.. unless your already pretty good in the money department. the furthest i ever drove was about 45 minutes away which was usually 6 times a week and i worked 12 hour shifts. but i only did so because the money was DAMN good.
2.5hours of free time? i wouldnt be able to handle it. you are going to be spending alot on gas. ii dont know what you drive but if you get 25mpg that is 8 gallons of gas a day and if gas goes back to $4 a gallon…
I used to drive like 60 miles one way and then when I got there could drive another 60 as part of the job. That was hard on the body.
At least you will be going against traffic.
If you do decide to take the job and commute; I recommend loading up your iPod with lots of audiobooks.
Good luck to you.
