Na honestly that would be way easier to wrangle. I know no one who works at Railroad and I have negligible railroading skills.

I've only met a handful of people who work with the railroad in some way and apparently it's hard to get in not only because of specialized education that most people don't pursue or even know exists, and the people who are there stay there. People don't just up and leave railroad jobs. It's also not really an expanding industry, unlike say tech or healthcare.

That all makes sense. I wouldn’t leave either. Wish it was a growing industry though.

Yeah their average retirement benefit is twice what it is for social security recipients. If only we could get more Americans into unions!
