Keep in mind half of that paycheck will be all gas idk where you live but still . That is a lot . But then again you have to do what you gotta do to survive. I don’t blame you . But I I was you I’d keep looking for something closer .

Keep up with the grind. But start applying for jobs as well on the side.
I took a job, my current job, that was 2hrs/way, often hitting 5 hours total, with traffic, 4 days a week (I was told 2 days onsite, they mislead me). Anyway, the drive destroyed my home life, exhausted and hacked-off mostly. But, my pay check keeps us eating ;-). I ended up moving closer too work. For me, it was worth it. Life is better these days. But that commute is unsustainable long-term. Granted, not everyone has the luxury of options. If that drive keeps your family afloat, in this job market, what other choice is there?
I would totally try to hop on a bus route and avoid all that mileage and gas! At least you can spend time on your phone to push out emails and phone calls for leads on jobs. You do what you have to do to survive. Good luck!
I think do it as long as you can to get back into the job market until you find something else. Job gaps are frowned upon, usually.
I praying you find something else soon that is closer, the amount of gas for that commute is going to seriously take away from your paycheck, I hope at least the job pays extremely well.
This forum seriously needs a "Wow" emoji. Wowzers! An hour and a half. Are you driving or riding in on a train?
I found myself in a similar predicament. My commute was an hour and a half, and I endured it for three long years. Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore and quit my job to find a better one. I wish you the best of luck.
