Reply to comment by Faringray in I make 42k and I work from home 4 out of 5 days a week. I signed a 60k offer onsite 23 miles there and back 45 min, 45 min back. Does this make any sense? by RemarkableCell1859

That’s definitely probably true. But I will never make the kind of money I’m making with my current career anywhere else. I am the sole provider for my family so it is worth it to me. I use the time to listen to audiobooks or podcasts or be introspective

Yet the money isn't good enough to move closer to the job?

It’s in the construction industry so the “job” is always moving. I can’t move closer to the job

Maybe they like where they live and their family is happy there. Not everything is about money.
