You changed your commute time to improve your personal life. Are you making good use of that time? More time with your kids in the morning, a quick walk with the dog, sorting your mail?? Or are you just sleeping late and "wishing" for something else....
What about your new job do your hate?
Your supervisor - 90% of job satisfaction hinges on that professional relationship.
Location - adapting to your new work environment make take time
CoWorkers - change is difficult on personal relationships, don't try to make "friends" too hard at work, let things flow naturally. Your friends should be outside your job anyway.
Salary - A good way to make your salary work for you is to set aside the exact amount you are saving in gasoline and commuting. Do that for 2 months and see what a difference it makes.
Good luck

After three years of 2 1/2 hrs a day on the road, I am struggling with the same problem. Some of the questions I've asked myself are: In what order do I prioritize money, time with family, and job satisfaction? How much does the job REALLY pay? (I divide the pay by the time the job takes me away from home, not the hours worked- and this still doesn't account for vehicle costs or road stress)
To quit or not to quit is a personal decision, but I have found that knowing what I based the decision on helps me to live with what I decide.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could both find lucrative, fullfilling jobs close to home? Good luck!!

Just look for other jobs in the same area. I have a similar dilemna. The commute is just sooo sweet that I don't want to give it up!

Nothing beats a short commute
