What is your travel distance to work? Is it city or country driving? The reason I ask is because I have been looking into federal corrections but all the institutions are far and moving might be the only option.

Your commute
"We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give"
Sir Winston Churchill
"...what if you have a capacity for violence, and a deep love for your fellow citizens? What do you have then? A sheepdog, a warrior, someone who is walking the hero's path. Someone who can walk into the heart of darkness, into the universal human phobia, and walk out unscathed." LTC Dave Grossman

City commute. My city is a little over 26 miles in length and I live on the opposite side of the city from the precinct that I work in. I drive about 20 minutes in light traffic to get to work at night. It takes me 30 minutes in heavy morning traffic to get home. Fortunately, the sun is to my back when I'm coming home so my night owl eyes don't get burned out. :D

A mile. Can't complain about that - about the only thing I can't complain about with this job.

25 miles each way, 40 minutes into work and 70 to 90 minutes to get home.

38 miles each way. City driving, country driving, you name it. Exactly one hour one way. It sucks.

Before moving... About 60-70 miles one way, hour and a half drive time.
After moving... About 30 minutes one way. not a bad deal. Country and City driving."I would rather my boss give me a butt kicking for being over the top than a eulogy for not being thorough!" ~~~~~ Aussie George

Currently I live 7 miles from work and get here in about 15 minutes in city driving.
I am getting ready to build on land that my wife and I are being given. It will be about an hour each way, but we will have our sanctuary and be out in the country. Add to that free land and I believe it is worth it.

A 2 minute walk, maybe a minute and a half. Can't beat it.

4 miles. But about 10-15 minutes of driving?!?! Some county some city, all of it is too urban and crowded if you ask me.

30 seconds walking..
