Everybody I've talked to has said the same thing. Common denominator? Family. The number one thing that will get in the way of a job is a family. I CAN NOT have a family, I just can't do it. This job is what I want. I don't want to be doomed to poverty like my neighbors, and what we're on the brink of. I don't want an office, I wanna keep moving, I don't want to sit still. I want to feel useful. Conductor will be my job, and I will excel at it. Keep women out of the picture, and I'll be fine.
And so help me, if the engineer is some hottie chick, I'll jump off the train and roll.
