How far are you driving?

To make it short, I need a year or continuous employment at 1 employer to get financing on a house, joining the union in is going to put a hold on financing and I'll be "stuck" in my current home which is 54 minutes from the furthest point of the union's "perimiter".

Does anyone else drive far for their apprenticeship on the daily? I feel like everyone will say its worth it for my future especially just for 1 year, but anything you found that made this particularly hard compared to working a traditional job that would usually just have 1 building to drive to?

What's the furthest you've heard someone driving for their apprenticeship, and do you know any JW that still continue to drive that far and don't mind it?
