I am applying for a job that's 4 hours away but I have a place to stay an hr from it.Is it worth it?I need to get experience and haven't found anything near. I have 2 young kids. I'll spend 18-20hours travelling per week. On top of this I'll need to study roughly 10 hours a week. It's a low paying job. Thanks for your opinions!

If you can't walk to work, you are working for nothing. A car costs $1,000 to $2,000 per year. So that cuts your $20,000 income to $18,000. You are paying $6,000 in taxes, so that cuts you to $12,000. It takes you 60 hours per week to earn that, so you are working for 2/3 of that figure: you pay taxes on $10/hour but you are only getting $4/hour.
Think of something else.
