> That sucks. Who do you dispatch for again? I just took promotion to dispatcher and leave Sunday for school.

RailTerm out of Canada. An engineer I used to work with was good friends with the guy that runs that office in Selkirk, I should’ve applied for a dispatching position there lol.

> 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…

> I dont think ive ever seen a homeless old person… retirement or not, elderly people always seem to be put somewhere and at that age money is less important then toilet paper.

1,000 a week is a 1,000 a week - more than I can make working at McDonalds for 8 hours a day haha. Stick it out for a few years and work your way up and you can easily be 6 figures or close to it with little or no college. Not many jobs will pay $37/hr out of the gate to start with tons of benefits and a healthy retirement.
