well if you ever have questions about the work or the industry or career paths, I'd be happy to talk shop with you.
ME is a big field with tons of possibilities. I have had the good fortune to have worked in a lot of different jobs.
The big 'engineering shortage' is coming, so stick with it and you should be able to write your own ticket in 10 years or so!

it's 6 months of "railroad school" provided by the company, i'm a 4th generation railroader been doing it for just over 5 years, my father is an engineer for CPR, he's got 2 years till he retires :) my family has been railroading for over 120 years in canada, basically you need a high school diploma ,college preffered ,then you apply and join the 1000's of other hopefuls waiting for a callback

i make pizza! im a full time manager at a small pizza shop in the atlanta suberubs. 70 hours a week!!!
