Meh i have my days but im pretty happy where I’m at now. I don’t get paid nearly what I should but it comes with a lot of freedoms and the potential to turn into something big. I actually don’t mind being here at work, i dont think wow I hate my job. Taking a pay cut to enjoy where you work? Worth it to me, especially in a day where people are making crazy money and are the most miserable fucks ive met in my life :rofl ---

While I don’t work for the RR I have several friends that do. They work the job because they make 50k+ a year w/ great benefits and the retirement is phenominal. Plus most of them work night and the two of them that are motivated are working at gettting their own businesses running during the day. Is the job itself great no not really but the pay and benefits and the security of employment are awesome. ---

I have 32 years left with the railroad to collect my full pension and for my wife to collect half of it. That’ll make me 60 and still able to enjoy retirement. ---

You can’t beat the pension and health benefits working for the railroad, especially if you’ve got a family to take care of. Realistically making $50k a year is entry level or your simply lazy! ---

At 60 years old you wont be into cars anymore… your married but if single you wont be able to go out and pick up chicks anymore… Chances are you cant play sports or go hiking or skating or skiing ext. On top of that most 60 yr olds have to start watching what they eat, taking special meds, ext… 60 years old starts survival mode imo… Thats when you drop everything fun and just live… Obv its just me, but id rather have fun while im healthy and able and then just do what others tell me to when im all old and shit myself cuz money or no money thats whats gonna happen. > [@CHODA 08 BUILD - ITS ALIVE AND RUNS GOOOOD](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/choda-08-build-its-alive-and-runs-gooood/48122/34): > > Yea man, it’s on their pensions.
