If your home and work are on the opposite sides of town, you might have a long commute. If they’re on the opposite sides of the country, you have quite the supercommute.
That’s the case for Memwanesha Daniels.
Daniels, who describes her career as “bicoastal nursing,” lives with her boyfriend and three kids, ages 2 to 13, in Jacksonville, Florida, but works in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she says she’s able to make three times as much as when she worked locally in Jacksonville.
When she was in nursing school, hearing of registered nurses making good money in the Bay Area and saving more by living elsewhere was “like urban legend.”
“I heard about that and I told myself, ‘I’m going to work in the Bay Area,’” she says.
