Not a hope in hell that I would even contemplate a 1 hour commute one way...did that for 9 months at my first job out of university working for Xerox...lived in Oakville and drove to Victoria Park and Sheppard...I knew this wasn't for me when one day, I was on the 401 around the 400 and I didn't know how the hell I had gotten there...quit that and found my first full time banking job with a small trust company in Oakville (had experience from working at CIBC during the summers for 4 years prior)...heck, when hubby and I were dating and talking about getting married, I told him there's no way I'd move to Cambridge, so if he wanted to get hitched, he'd have to move to Milton...there's something to be said being 3 km from work and not having to deal with all the crazies on the highway...
Maybe you could increase that offer from your current part-time employer to something closer to what you're looking for...for me, my time is precious, and not to mention you'd be saving on fuel, oil changes, wear and tear on your vehicle, etc...good luck!
