Nothing is ever as of so as of matter of fact as that of which you say! The more mature I get, the more I realize that it is when someting looks as simple as hauling a train (or anything), there is more to it than meets the the eye from I have seen. If it looks simple, the person doing it makes looks simple to the eye.COEN77 wrote: Huh! You're starting out in training. Whoever stated you'll be rich? Railroad will never make you rich one can make a good living. Who cares what you want? Sorry to say you're definitely living an unrealistic life with overblown expectations. If the railroad stated a person can make $45,000-$60,000 starting out that is realistic once they're marked up out of training. Waste of time? One always has the option to quit.Let's see: the RR's hire people for T&E with a high school education and no real skills. How dare they not pay them $250K+ right out of the gate!
Better hold off on ordering the Audi A8 for a few years...
