almost all of these communities have community colleges or junior colleges nearby (less than an hour away)


Two hours of travel round trip to go to, what, an hour of class? And that's alongside however far one has to drive to work in a day. So maybe you can get away with doing that one day a week? Two? It's going to be a very slow, very miserable slog. Even an hour of travel total, which is probably near the average minimum, is a lot when your days are as packed as Amazon's full-time warehouse employees.


What data do you have that an hour each way is the average? I looked up a few Amazon warehouses. The Irving, TX facility is 6 miles from North Lake College. The Phoenix warehouse is 10 miles from Glendale CC, and the one in Lebanon TN is 20 miles from Volunteer State CC.
