In a way I already made this choice. My last job had a car commute that was between 45 and 75 minutes long each way (depending on traffic). I just hated it! At the time I blamed the length of the commute for consuming my day.

Now I have a 45-75 minute commute on bike or bus. I look forward to it and dread the days I have to take my car. Looks like it was driving the car that I hated. Not surprising, these days my encounters with jerk drivers are about once a week. When I was driving 35 miles thru the city it was almost every day.
