    I had a friend who lived on Long Island and worked in Manhattan.

    He told me that when his job started at 6 am he had to get up at 4 am to make sure he got to the city by 5:30 am.

    When they changed his start time to 8 am, he had to get up by 4:30 am.

      A 3.5 hr commute is not acceptable for any life. Also, a 4am wakeup is horrible too. What could your friend possibly need so bad in New York?

        A job.

        I know folks who live in Pennsylvania and commute to the city.
