Well, what it comes down to is this: If I'm going to apply for 
something, it needs to be bettER than what I currently have. It needs to 
be nearer or better paid or less stressful or *something*.

I think the specific job you mentioned fails on this test. (I'd be 
driving *towards* the traffic jams, rather than away from them like I 
currently do. And the "significant travelling will be involved" leads me 
to think this is probably a customer-facing role, which absolutely rules 
it out of consideration.) But maybe I can find *something* better 
somewhere...
