I just resigned from my Head Coaching position of two seasons, and I was a teacher in the building. We just made the playoffs for the 5th time in school history. It was between 70-90 minutes one way. So that was sometimes 3 hours in the car. My wife was on the verge of divorcing me. Found a new teaching job for the second semester 8 minutes from our house, and took a DC job at a school 8 minutes from the school I'm teaching at. I won't drive more than 45 minutes ever again, and never if I'm not in the building.

There seldom is linear decision to be made like this. I think you have to factor several things
=Marriage Status - are you single/married, how strong is the marriage, how supportive is the wife, is she willing to move, who is she going to spend time with when she's not spending time with you =Parentage - do you have kids, how old are they, are you planning on having kids/more kids, how much of your child's life are you willing to give up =Location - why are you driving instead of moving, are you planning to move closer, do you/wife/family like where you live =Job Status - is this a good job, is it a job for advancement, how quickly can you advance, pay considerations, will it provide what you're looking for, how stable is it, what will happen when the circumstances change =Commute - what type of commute is it, how demanding is the drive, do you even like driving, what shape is your vehicle in =Stress/Mental Health - can you handle it b/c it will increase =Personal Leisure/Hobbies - what are you willing to give up doing as the trade off for the time on the raod
Another way to look at the decision is from an economic perspective - opportuinity cost. The opportunity cost is the next best option that you didn't choose. And again, it isn't about salary per se.
One way I always considered it was to factor the cost per hour, and include the commute time as well as expense if you really want to have a true dollars and cents comparison.
But to answer your question; Job, one way commute time, commute type, job status, years at job 1- 10, rural, foot in the door wasn't going to stay, 2 2- 25-35, city to suburbs, 1st real job but still a stepping stong, 4 3- 40, rural/small town, job close to home/father was ill/really good but not a forever job, 6 4- 75 then after move 12, interstate for 2 years/small town, great job, 8 5- 30 then 6 after move, medium town & interstate then medium city, great job, 5

Some close family members MUST be nearby AND WILLING to help out or you will get an earful...

45 minutes one way assuming traffic would cooperate. It made my life miserable. Coming home in traffic might mean 1.5 hours in the car sometimes. Put a real strain on things at home even with a very supportive wife.

As an assistant and teacher I drove 1 hour one way my first year. Was married but no kids. Was a struggle but doable. Now I drive 30 minutes one way with a toddler.

Longest I have done is 35 minutes (as an assistant) and that grew pretty old. Currently I live 4 miles away from the high school I teach and coach at. Takes me about 8-10 minutes to get there depending on the 2 lights that I hit on my short commute.

I wouldn’t ever want to live outside of the school district I work in. I am a weirdo in that when I find a new school, I embrace everything about it.
I want my kids to go to the school. I want a great understanding of the history, personality, and the people of the community. I want to feel like the school is a part of me as much as I feel like I’m a part of the school.
