I've done pretty well in the mill. I don't have to work a shitload of OT to cross the six figure mark. The Job I had before this was USW represented as well, and that was also pretty good. That RR retirement does sound pretty good. But I'm a little long in the tooth for it to benefit me anyway. Resetting the retirement clock for a new 30 year countdown doesn't make much sense when you're already over 40.

For what you earning, you are making more than 90% of college graduates will ever see. You made a good choice.

If I was young and single, I would consider it.

I might talk to my nephew about it, though. He is 19 and college wasn't for him (he went one semester). He likes working in a warehouse and the hours are good (M-F 7:30am-4:00 pm). I might ask him about the railroad, though.

Thank you.
