The way world politics are developing, to continue in the service might put you in harm's way in some overseas country. Much less likely to get shot while working on the trains; not impossible, but much less probable. <br /> <br />On the other hand, there have already been so many new hires, that if the railroads ever succeed in getting one-man crews, there will be lots of furloughed railroaders; the military is much more secure job-wise. <br /> <br />What do your family members say? Perhaps their input would be helpful. But do not decide based just on what they want; if the relationship does not last, will you be doing something you want to be doing, or something your ex wanted you to do? <br /> <br />Are there any kids involved? How do they feel about it? <br /> <br />And remember, when the novelty of the new railroad job wears off, it will be just like it is now: lousy hours, lousy working conditions, supervisors that are college-educated idiots; in other words, same stuff, different scenery.
