Where is the dispatcher?

Well..... Perhaps more intense than I thought, I appreciate all the insight because it helps me make a very important decision in my life. I am very strongly considering applying to be a dispatcher. Like Mark said, I may not have what it takes, but then again you never know. I find the idea of a running a railroad very drawing and I feel like I just have to find out. I've been told if I can't handle it I can always flow back as a conductor. <br /> <br />Mark, <br /> <br /> You being a former dispatcher, I intended no harm in my statement, but only wanted to see if any of my past experience in a hectic environment may help me if I ever became a dispatcher. I have a college degree... B.S. in Geography with a specialty in urban studies. Many railroaders have joked with me saying "No wonder you work on the railroad!" I know a bachelors can help me get my foot in the door and I've been told by supervisors in CSX that I should be a dispatcher. I'm not sure how they came up with that conclusion by talking to me..... Anyways I enjoy all the stories about dispatching and I will use them to help me make a decision about dispatching.
