Which position is best?

Question

1 hour commute to job that pays 15/hr. Or drive 20 minutes for job that pays 12/hr. Which would you take?

Notes:

1 hour commute to work would run me $60.00/week

Both positions are full time

Answer 1

Based on the info you posted, remain unemployed and don't bother the rest of us.

Answer 5

* SIGH *  Most Americans cannot understand simple math.

Actual cost of driving a car is over $0.50 / mile.  That is for gas, oil, maintenance, tires, fixed costs.

That is with a wimpy economy car, better cars cost considerably more.

Assuming you average 60MPH, assuming two-way commute.  8-hour day.  Daily cost:

 

$120 - $30 commute :  $90 = Better

$96 - $10 commute : $86

If one-way commute:

$120 - $60 commute :  $60$96 - $20 commute : $76 = Better

Answer 6

Take the job where you will make $20/hr after 12 months

Answer 7

$15x40=600-$60= $540.00

Which you would be making more.  

All so the $12.00 you would still be paying into gas, oil, etc.  

You should allso weigh her options on health care.  

Answer 8

I'd go for the one that's closer just because I wouldn't want to be driving for 2 hours every day.

Answer 9

how are the health benefits, tuition reimbursement, chances for advancement, and the people you work with in each job?  It's the intangibles that make you stay or leave a job.
