I believe it is NBC that runs the little snippits called "The More You Know". Well, at your age that is what you should be concentrating on: learn as much as possible about as many things as possible. After high school, if you are still curious, then go on to junior or community college with an eye to a four year degree. At your age, right now, contrary to acamedicians, you really don't know what you want to do. Don't be pushed, don't push yourself. But really think about what you are doing. Wanna be a railroad engineer? What you take in high school probably doesn't matter; its more important that you pass with good or better grades and be well rounded, athletic, involved in more than just subjects. A railroad today may even suggest you be a college grad for them to really want to look at you. Oh, you can apply with what you have in hand next year, but that may not be enough or it may be too early. And guess what? If you're only 16 or 17 now, next year could find you in completely different straits! Good luck.

Hello all.
I was hoping that at least one of you could assist me in something.
I am currently looking at scheduling my High School Freshman classes for next year. I think most of you all know that one day I want to become a Locomotive Engineer. I was wondering if you could tell me your recommendations of classes that would be appealing to the railroads when I go to try to hire on.
I used to have a list that another forum member gave me, but it seems to have gone away.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Justin
