Lake Elsinore/Corona to San Diego ... that's a heavy commute dude. At least two hours rush hour. It now takes an hour just to get from downtown San Diego to Escondido (north SD county) on the I-15.
Corona to the Valley isn't so hot either - the 91 can be a parking. If you get a job in Porn Valley, Canoga Park isn't too expensive, and some parts are still okay.
Anyway, good luck in the job hunt.
