A few key things stand out from your posting:<br> (1) That you value family time.<br> (2) That you value a job that is stable and that you can retire from.<br> <br> I happen to work for a city. The job is incredibly stable (there is no question about job security). I go home at 4:00 pm every day - <b>guaranteed</b>. I never work weekends. The pay and benefits are ok (<i>I'm not getting rich, though!</i>). And if I retire from there I'll have a very decent pension, not to mention my 401K investment returns. Probably the railroad will pay quite a bit more, but if stability and security are important to you, you might check out jobs with local public agencies, DOT's, utilities, cities, etc.<br> <br> You're asking all the right questions. Good luck to you.<br> <br>
