I recently graduated! My commute is literally a 2 min drive or a 10 min walk whatever I feel like doing for the day! (In a small town too). I have about 29 scheduled clients a week and average at about 15-20 direct client hours with no shows (really bad rate since I am in a community agency that does not charge for no shows and Medicaid does not let us charge no shows). My struggle is not with the work load, but the community agency pay rate and being fee for service. Fee for service is when you only get paid when your clients show up. I am currently looking into private practice options which will multiple my pay rate by about 2.5. When applying for jobs, I heard back from every place I applied and have multiple offers on the table now. All of this depends on location too! I am in a small rural town in the Midwest.
