I have THIS to say: <br />A lot of it all has to do with the attitude and willingness to understand of your family. <br />Ditto also actually aplies in the COMMUNITY. <br />If you live in a 9 to 5 community where nobody has ever even HEARD of blue collar, you will spend the rest of your life unsuccesfully trying to explain to "civilians" why you're not avaiable for that weekend or evening social evenmt. On the other hand, if you live in one of those "railroad towns" where everybody had a father or uncle or neighbor who was an engineer/conductor, people will be a bit more understanding. <br />So far as the family situation is concerned: I was once told it this way: "If a womean marries a railroad man, she knows what she's getting herself into, If you marry FIRST then start railroading, you're asking for trouble. <br />My suggestion is this: Try it, first, and make it a family decision. If it doesnt work out, you can always change careers> On the other hand, don't turn 65 or 70 and spend the rewst of your life wondering : <br />"What if I HAD?"
