answer:Only you can answer that for yourself. I look at it this way: if you are working 8 hours a day, and spend 3 and ½ hours driving, you are away from home 11 and a half hours a day minimum. If you get caught in traffic it could be significantly longer. Depending on your situation, you could move closer to work or find work closer to your home. Thirty dollars an hour is a good pay, but if you factor in how much the gas will cost you and wear and tear on your car, you might not really be making that much in the long run. P.S.
