Most of you know that I currently have 3 job offers - actually let me correct that. I have one accepted job, and two more offers.
One offer I have already turned down. Mainly because it is as long a drive as job #2, and job #2 would be better for me.
Job #1, already accepted, 1 hour commute, secure, low pay, not great benefits, okay for my career, could maybe have 4 10 hour days, no big money gain in the future - but science that is good for mankind.
Job #2, good offer, great money, 1.5 hour commute - that could turn into 2 hours with weather bad, must take small car ferry, great opportunity for my career, chance to earn much more money in the future, and a normal unstable place for science.
How do you decide?
Could you live with a 3 hour commute everyday?
What's it all worth?
I've been sitting on this for a week, and am not any closer.

If it were me I would have to take job #1 - a commute difference of an hour a day (seven hours a week? 364 hours a year, etc.)If you make the financial calculation between the jobs and take into account this lost time, is the $ still significant?
Additionally, is there any amount of money that can make up for the feeling that you may be helping people? Maybe it's just my liberal tree-hugging side, but that would tip the scales for me. :-)
The difference is about 25k/year.
I know I complain about big pharma being in it for the money and selling out - and here when I get he choice, it's not so easy for me either. Guess I am no better than they are.
