Well, the job is, where the job is, they didn't make it convenient or inconvenient, Apple has a store where they feel it gives them the best retail location (population density, accessibility, etc.)
I also think you mean to say, you're _applying_ for a job at/with Apple (vs. AppleCare [the service], or the related/correct job title). I think it's probably in your best interest to think about it and express it like "I hope to work for Apple", or "If things go well, I'll be working at an Apple retail store" vs. "When I work for Apple". I mean, good for you for being positive, but I've seen several folks pass through here, surprised they didn't get hired - and no insult intended, but some of them had far better communication skills (at least in terms of writing), which I'd figure is a key consideration for a customer facing position.
FWIW, there's also - or used to be - At Home Advisor positions where you can work from home, or I'd assume a dorm, the point being, offsite. You might look into those if the travel logistics are too complicated.
Good luck.
