We could, but not for the same pay. For example my wife is a teacher if she switches to a local school the salary is 20k less. Another big thing is my job doesn't have a set schedule so when we all commute together I'm not really in a rush as long as she gets there on time. And my parents live right by her school so we can drop off our kid, then I drop her off, and my job is like 15 minutes further so it kind of just works.

When she's on summer break I can go to work earlier like 5 or 6am and avoid traffic which cuts the commute in half
