This was a fun way to deal with the idea of how to compare multiple jobs against one another:
Assumptions:
- Jobs have a salary and a number of hours per week an employee is required to work.

- Average speed of commute is 50 mph.
- “Travel” refers to percent of time per year working, but not at the employee’s home office.
