I'm probably posting this in the wrong forum (ya'll are certified train nuts...) but I came across a job offer from Norfolk Southern RR as a Conductor.. The training period is a paycut, but afterwards would be a slight raise over my current salary. Union dues and such would eat up the difference. I'd be eligible for promotion engineer in a year but im almost 100% positive it'd be 10x's that ...
Im kinda curious what everybody else thinks? I like my current job, but I've gone about as high in the company as I can, and have pretty much topped out in the pay scale. I would REALLY love to go back to college and get further edumacated....finish my B.S. Degree.
Going the back to school route would probably provide better $$ in the long run, and certainly less labor intensive (computer Science Degree) but working for the RR isnt something that everybody gets a chance to do..
