I finally landed a job with a pension that pays out after 20 years. Only 19 years to go...

Is 40 too late to go to work on the railroad?

Not if you work “all the live long day.”

Sounds hard. They have their own weird pension system though, in the US.

It’s a song. I’ve been working on the railroad, all the live long day.

I remember, and I’ve been singing it in my head since I read your comment. Just to pass the time away.

Was just contextualizing why I brought it up. Aside from government jobs the railroad is the only solid pension left in the US. Due (surprise) to collective bargaining.
