    Can’t afford housing close to the current job, any jobs close to home don’t pay a living wage.

    In my small town’s case, if you want to live and work here, your options are fast food, a truck stop, or the police. And the latter two are not hiring.

    So for me, I commute to the nearest city, which is luckily only ~40-60 minutes depending on the time of day.
