Hi,
I am interested in starting a career on the tracks. My main goal is to become a train engineer. I have read a lot on the internet about the job, what it requires, etc etc, and I really want to get started. I;m just not exactly sure the best way to go about it.
I am 20 years old and live in Ottawa. I know I have to work as a conductor/other part of a company before I can apply for engineering but how do I start? Do I simply take a course like the one at George brown college (http://www.georgebrown.ca/T151-2013-2014/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) and then simply lookand apply? Or is there anything else?
I'm just scared ill pay the money and take the course and then be stuck with nothing. Sorry if this is a stupid post I'm just looking for someone with experience to put me on the right track(hehe)
Thanks!
