I’d say that’s largely dependent on where you live. Unless you live in a place that has a lot of service between where you live and your domicile, commuting to reserve is untenable. That is unless you like sitting LC in a crashpad. I was always amazed watching people roll in to a flop house in the middle of the night who made north of $300/hr.
Of course, this is just academic. The folks asking these questions will be on reserve whether they like it or not and will be able to form their own opinions based on their specific scenario.
