> I quoted you but this isnt just towards you… I cant understand why people choose there life long carreers BECAUSE of retirement… Your going to work like a slave for 50 years to collect retirement you cant even use when your in a wheel chair or a nursing home? Maybe its just me but id rather enjoy my life when im young without health issues then when im 80 with a million bucks stuck in my bed 22 hours a day…

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.
