Not in Germany but I was in a uni that purposefully mixed up the dorms and campuses. So instead of using the way it was designed, we traveled via 2-3 transportation types 3h one way, so 6h a day in total. I had to wake up at 5am to catch the earliest train and returned around 11pm. No time for sleep, let alone homework. Not to mention the cost of spending whole days in the city campus, because you gotta eat, stay warm in winter etc. Needless to say I dropped out, the self-offing rate in that uni/city is astronomical. I hope your internship is slightly more humaine and worth it, wishing you the best 💪
omg i'm sorry for you mate... I can't imagine dabbling 6 hours a day... thank you for sharing and your good wishes! My internship is good actually I feel like it will teach me a lot about the industry and lead to good stuff, people are also very kind and are willing to teach. That's actually the reason I'm somewhat okay with the commute... But we'll see what the time brings!! Wish you all the best and wish you a lovely week friend ❤️
In Germany the average commuting time is 80 minutes per day. I think the problem is that you picked an internship, which is very far away. I bet you commute more than 30 kilometers per direction. Before taking a new job, always check the time it takes to commute. If it is faster to bike to the next train station, then do it. You can buy a used bike and a lock for less than 100 Euros. I didn't understand the Autobahn part. Autobahn is only for cars, anything else is forbidden. When you check possible routes in google maps, make sure to pick the bike as mode of transportation. To be honest, the best move would be to move closer to your work, especially if you want to work in that area after the internship or find a new internship somewhere near.
Thanks for the advice! You're absolutely right and moving near to the place of internship was my initial idea but I seem to have miscalculated some stuff about it... Which sucks but we'll see how it will resolve. I am planning on biking to a possible train station but it requires me to get to another town, that was why I mentioned the autobahn. I'll try selecting the bike roads on google maps so again, thanks for the advice!
i didn't watch even 1 second of this video bc im too impatient, but I saw the title and low view count, so I know you'll see this. i may be rambling completely irrelevantly bc i didnt watch the video. but based on the title, that's got to suck. people sometimes mention the 8-8-8 thing: 8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of work, 8 hours of whatever you want. but bc of travel and getting ready for work, the 16 hours of non-working time isn't actually the full 16 hours. 4 hours a day commuting leaves you only 12 hours, and that's not even counting all your other responsibilities. you want 8 hours sleep? then only 4 hours of your own stuff. you want 8 hours of your own stuff? only 4 hours of sleep. or you can split it 6 and 6 hours, but that's still not much sleep and not much of your own time bc of other responsibilities. since i didn't watch the video, idk why you can't just get another job, and idk your family situation any how many other people you have to take care of. but i wish you the best of luck with everything. i know 4 hours commute is mentally draining and depressing because youre not really doing anything. it's like you are being forced to waste time. travel benefits nobody or anything, but is still completely necessary. i'm sure that's gotta be awful when it's that long. hopefully you can get a different job soon that's much closer or remote and save you at least 3 hours a day. until then, gl with everything
