US College Intern Flies To Work Every Week To Save Rent Money
Celentano also revealed that she wakes up at 3 am to catch her morning flight every Wednesday to work in New Jersey.
A 21-year-old woman from South Carolina commutes to her New Jersey summer internship at Ogilvy Health by plane every week. The reason behind Sophia Celentano taking this decision is that flight tickets are cheaper than renting a house in New Jersey. Sophia’s unconventional commuting method quickly went viral on TikTok. She titled her post “Why I take a plane to work.” She also mentioned that she commutes by plane once a week to reach New Jersey for her summer job. "I understand this is an untraditional thing to do, but it works for me," she further said.
“I understand that this is an untraditional thing to do, but it works for me,” she said. Celentano also revealed that she wakes up at 3 am to catch her morning flight every Wednesday.
She also took to LinkedIn to share about her commute and wrote, "On the first day of my internship I posted a TikTok where I shared what a morning looks like for me on days when I commute by plane from South Carolina to the office in New Jersey. I explained in the video that my commute provides me with significant financial benefits. Rather than spending paying $3400+ a month for rent (the new average for leases in Manhattan), I book a $100 round trip flight from SC to NJ on the one day a week I work in person. Plus, my untraditional commute provides me with more lifestyle freedom, and I genuinely look forward to my weekly adventures."
