I know a guy who took flying lessons before he took driving lessons. He worked the flight line part-time in exchange for lessons and actually earned his private pilot certificate one month after his driving liscense.

Be happy airports don't look like this anymore and actually have paved areas.

Hoping to get a job as a conductor at the local tram. Easy, nearby and fairly good pay I've heard.

Oh and I've got no job atm, so yeah, I'd take what they'd offer:D

It is interesting to see who has dreams of something more than the most base jobs.

Americans dream fo something more, Europeans dream for something unchallenging.

I'm 18, still in school, I was talking about my current job dream, if it's me you're referring to. It'd be hard for an 18 year old with no experience regarding work to become CEO over a multi millionaire company, wouldn't it?:D

I think there was one guy who was though.:yep:

Software engineer.

Working on it now, it'll be my second degree. My first turned out to be pretty ****ing useless.

PD

I'd really like one of my little side line gigs to take off and pay enough to do it full time-building historic / educational 1/72 scale dioramas....

Working towards my dream of owning an organic farm / homestay / hostel / wildflower exporting / carbon sink business. I manage to save 50% of my paycheck and have a few little side liners cooking too....

No, No God forbid I lay that on you Biggles. My statement was more a generalization.

Hmm..let's see here

1. County Sheriff
2. State Trooper
3. ...FBI (Ones who are always in the gunfights!!)

No offense taken buddy:salute:

I'm amazed at the number of people who want railroad work. Any particular reason? I mean, it has a lot of benefits, but it is kind of boring after a while.

I myself have always been a fan of trains...

I like trains because instead of doing a job in a warehouse, or a office, you get out in the world, and if you are in the right region, there are some great sights to see... (donner {spelling}pass comes to mind.)

Also the fact of controling something as powerful as a locomotive.

Kind of fun to get around the country and get paid at the same time...:yep:

(hey underseelcp your sig is borken, neal uploaded the sig you were useing onto subsim.

Thanks, TF:salute:


Anyhow, those are all good reasons, I was just curious.

edit-Congrats on your 5k!

Thanks... yea, it took alot of spaming...:rotfl:

oah, anouther job id like... being a millionare.:D

and I also just realised that there is a railroad that still has a running steam locomotive...

thought they died out years ago... lol

I like trains, I reallly do. I bought an interrail ticket and traveled through Europe last summer, in two weeks I visited Denmark, Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Italy. It was great, I payed a visit to Bayeux in Normandie and went to Omaha Beach sector, but my greatest memory of the entire trip was the nighttrain from Amsterdam to Milano. Took about 15 hours if I'm not mistaken, and it was maybe the best 15 hours I've had for many years. Lots to see, and friendly people too:yeah:

Regarding work, I'd like to work in a way were I meet people, I'm not a big fan of paperwork, so I'd rather work "in the field" as a conductor or something alike.
