"Take Memwanesha Daniels, a self-described "bicoastal nurse" who supercommutes from Jacksonville, Fla., to the San Francisco Bay Area. In a recent CNBC report, Daniels says that by supercommuting to the Bay Area, she is able to make three times what she would make in Florida (1). "It's very lucrative," she told CNBC. "This is a retirement plan for me." Daniels has also acquired an online following and appears to be a budding influencer."
"For Daniels, getting to work on a usual day means hopping a flight leaving Jacksonville between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m., landing in the Bay Area between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. local time. She tells CNBC that she rents an apartment in Oakland, which costs about $1,300 a month. She says her flights, typically two round trips per month, come in at around $500."
Supercommuting involves living and working in areas hours apart, often requiring flights for each shift. Memwanesha Daniels is a bicoastal nurse who commutes from Jacksonville, Fla., to the San Francisco Bay Area. Typical travel includes early-morning flights arriving mid-day and a rented Oakland apartment costing about $1,300 monthly. Two round-trip flights per month often cost around $500. Night and weekend 12-hour shifts pay more than $100 an hour, enabling earnings up to $25,000 in a month with overtime and roughly 16 shifts. The extra income offsets travel expenses but reduces time spent with family.
