railroading versus family life

All the posts sound a lot like a lot of professions. Cop, soldier, and practically anyone in transportation, all face the same misery. The guys who sound the most successful in doing the job vs family deal have managed to "work to live" rather than "live to work". They appear to realize that their families need as much dedication as their jobs, and they also appear to love them both. <br /> <br />I blew a marriage and family over time in the Army. My wife hated it, my kids hated it, and it was a long time before I realized I hated it too. My second wife hates my being a cop (she is a school teacher) but she realizes that it's what I do for a living. We do our best to make our time together special. I'm pretty sure that's where the happy railroaders are in these posts... supportive wives (or husbands) at home... and job satisfaction... even if it's only on pay day. <br /> <br />Erik
