There's a good compromise, but first let me say that you are describing pretty much what I was going through with my parents way back in the late 1970s. I wanted to hire out with BN out of Seattle or Milwaukee Road out of Tacoma, but they wouldn't hear of it. I didn't want to go to college yet either, so I enlisted in the Marine Corps. I wanted to serve my country. When my enlistment ended four years later, I entered college rather than pursuing a career with BN. Well, that pretty much sums it up. <br /> <br />Now, as to the compromise. Your chances of getting hired by a railroad these days improve if you possess a college degree of some kind. There are several community colleges throughout the country that offer two-year degrees in railroad operations. Here's a list of the schools: [url]http://www.uprr.com/employment/rrdegree.shtml[/url].
