Live in NYC and commuting daily to Washington, DC for work: doable

Live in NYC and commuting daily to Washington, DC for work: doable?
I currently live in NYC and I found a job in the DC area and I was wondering if the commute is doable daily back and forth? It is 4 hours and starts at 10 am so I can leave NYC at 6 am and ends at 4 pm so I can get home at 8-ish. How is the drive down I-95? Would you recommend it?

8 hours commuting for 8 hours of work? Insanity. Telecommute or move.
2 :
That is insane. Its a 7+ hour drive depending on traffic. I would say move to maryland
3 :
No It's not doable at all if you're driving . If you clear the Lincoln Tunnel at 6:00 AM sooner or later on your way south you're gonna hit some big city's inbound rush hour traffic On the return the opposite happens ;first you gotta deal with outbound DC traffic and then you gotta deal with outbound Baltimore traffic Then there is the NJTPK and all of it's legendary traffic jams to contend with If your job pays well enough to use Amtrak 2x day it may be worth the time But no way in H can do you do it if you're driving

8 hrs on the road round trip, and 8 hours at work? no it's not doable. you will be totally exhausted. and this is the assumption if traffic is good. my suggestion is either move to d.c. or find another job
5 :
Not recommended at all. Among many other problems, the cost of gas and tolls and wear on your car would be extremely high.

How does cell phone service in Washington DC metro tunnels work

How does cell phone service in Washington DC metro tunnels work?
I am wondering because my college's student union has bad cell phone reception. I am on the SGA and I would like to know what kind of technologies we can use to improve service.

The only way to get reception in a tunnel is to put a bunch of antennas in the tunnel. If you want to boost signal then you need to put more antennas in and don't space them as far apart.
2 :
There are a series of repeaters. What they do is grab the signal from a nearby tower and and shoot a longer range than the original tower. They are cheaper than putting another transmitter (tower), and they don't require near the power supply, data connection, and/or space to operate. However, obviously, they don't have the range of the towers. Contact your provider, they will often report the less than desirable coverage and dispatch an engineer to check to see if anything can be done to improve it.
3 :
As far as I know, Verizon is the only provider who has service in the tunnels. I use my cell all of the time down there.

No. you have to be 15 or older.
2 :
no...15 with parents permission, 16 without.
3 :
I was there a week ago asking what the job requirement was. They said 15 years old if you have a work permit. Sadly, I'm only 14 at the moment, but I'm definitely going to apply when I turn 15.
4 :
Yes, but you'll be limited by child labor laws on the number of hours you can work...Which is why they likely won't hire a minor...Take Care Good Luck
5 :
No. The legal age to work is 16, 14-15 years olds have too many restrictions and can barely work.
