I drive about 25 miles to work each day. My full commute, door to door, including parking and taking a shuttle to my building from the parking lot, and getting to my desk takes me about 45 minutes, with no significant weather or traffic issues.

I think the question about going from being your own boss to having a boss is really dependent on the management style and environment. I've had bosses who were really flexible and bosses who were inflexible. It's good to know things like- are there times when it is ok to work from home? Are there flex hours and how are those defined? I've worked places where flex hours mean you have to be there for the "core" hours of business (usually 9-3) but outside of that, as long as you get your 8 hours in, it doesn't matter when you come in or leave on any given day. I've worked where "flex hours" meant you get to choose your start and leave times, but you need to stick to them once they are set. I'd look for a looser, more casual environment over a strict corporate culture.
