Yes, but going to university usually involves extra commute. Rarely do people live within a short walk or drive to both their work and a university.

Also, I've definitely not independently wealthy, but have worked remotely for 2 of the last 5 years, with no commute.

I'm not really even sure what you're trying to argue. Driving isn't difficult. Everyone does it. Good for you you've got a remote job I guess.

So the worker that commutes 2 hours a day, and the worker that commutes 10 minutes a day? Same thing?

You implied above that it doesn't matter.

If you really don't understand what I'm trying to argue, then I'd suggest reviewing your responses to me in this thread.

Also, no, once again, everyone doesn't commute (and the remark about the difficulty of driving is a total non-sequitur). And many people only commute a few blocks. That makes a huge difference in life quality. If you don't understand why, do the math.

[jki275]

If you are commuting to work in one direction and school in another, you've made poor choices in where to live, work, and go to school.

That wasn't the point. You're blathering about things that don't matter to the discussion.
