Career Help and Advice

Whenever I've talked to recruiters, they seem surprised that I don't want a job that is a 90 minute each way drive! I often have refused to go to interviews because of their location. I think that's just insane to drive that much... I realize that it is sometimes necessary, to support kids or some other obligation. But I couldn't spend 10-20 hours a week commuting. That's just ridiculous, IMO. Currently I'm on a long train ride coming home from work, but I'm just sitting here browsing the internet and reading so it's not the same as driving....

I truly believe people should stay focused on what they want to do, and your goal seems very achievable. Maybe the R&D job can work out shorter work weeks? Good luck!
