I have two peices of advice: <br /> <br />One. Working for the railroad from what I have heard is a lot like the military, not so much in organization, but working conditions - high stress, personalities, long hours, no sleep, etc. etc.. There are benefits, some tangible, some not, but this type of job is best if you are young, the question is how young are you? <br /> <br />Two: Stability vs. adventure. I had the same problem when I was trying to decide whether or not to make a career out of the Navy. I once read a wonderfull article by Ann Landers. She was blathering about how poeple ask her from time to time about how did she prepare herself to become an advice columnist, and she answered that she didn't prepare herself conciously in any way. She went on to say that too often today poeple think of a career in linear terms - you train, then go to work, then retire. If you think of your career in those terms, you will limit yourself greatly. Your career should be the total combination of your experiences whatever they may be. If this is the case, then any opportunity you get to broaden you experiences, by all means DO IT!! A nice thing about railroading is that there are so many diferent aspects to it, you could have almost any kind of experience and still find relevence.
