I think that in my case, precisely, if I knew that there was a three hour commute to work and back and that it was in a place where I did not want to move, my instinct would tell me, beyond doubt, to forget it however wonderful the job. In fact, this is a situation in which I have been, twice in recent years and however I might try to rationally think about how great the two jobs were on paper (and that I was having things I was finding very frustrating with my job), my guts was telling me "no way" in no uncertain terms.
