I was offered a very good job. Great pay, interesting work, but it would take me an hour and a half to get there and an hour and a half back home. Do you think it is too far to travel everyday?.

If you don't mind traveling that far, take it. Maybe you could move closer to the job if you want it.

I'd take the job and move closer to it. Other than that I would look in to ways to find a cheap place to spend the night there every once in a while.
Is there a bus or train that goes that way? Can you ride share? I would think that you would would want to use those 3 hours a day as productively as posible either reading or paying bills or something. 3 hours a day just doing nothing but driving is a waiste.

Okay the best thing to do is to think about how your going to get there, do you have reliable transportation? If your capable of getting up and surviving on the amount of sleep you will get. Will these changes in your life affect it negatively or positively. And I guess in the end when you figured all this out and still can't make up your mind, just think if the view on the way there and back is worth looking at for an hour and a half.

Yes its far, but its worth taking the job.
I drive 2.5 hours each way to work and back.
I got the job, on the 3rd month I was ready to quit, from being so tired... I talked to my boss, they loved my work and gave me a special schedule, I can work from home some times and others my hours are very flexible... if you are a good hard worker and ready to prove yourself, GO FOR IT, then have them be flexible with you, once they know they "NEED" you, they will do anything for you.. just be nice and sencere about it

Ask them if they will help you relocate. Gas is killer right now and doesn't look any better in the future . You would be on the road 3 hours a day. When would you have time for you?

Are you required to grab your ankles while looking at a giant jumbotron that violently blinks the word "OBEY"?
If not then by all means go for it.
