    Been trying to get a job in the rail industry for a year: is it worth it?

    So noone can post anything that is contrary to how you personally feel? what sort of attitude is that? I am merely discussing the reality for those who think its all a bundle of laughs and a big train set...

    Can i just correct this- there is no such thing as a 'five day weekend' - that's just to make it sound good. Last time I knew, a weekend was Saturday and Sunday.

    That's true- there is indeed no such thing as facts. There is opinion though- and I've just put the question to the whole mess room up here..... hmmm.... noone wants to do shifts..... surprise...

    We are all doing it for the money- if it were unpaid- would you still be there? There are few or no advantages to shift work- medical, lifestyle, social - none. It's decently paid for blue-collar work. I've never said I hated it- you're working up a fury- chill out. Nobody opts to do shiftwork-...

    Been trying to get a job in the rail industry for a year: is it worth it?

    I think you've just contradicted yourself. Who on earth wants to work for 13 days in a row? That really is sweat-shop stuff. I didn't say I hate shift work, did I? I actually was not the one who said it was killing me slowly. Read back. What is keeping me in the 'grade' (ugh)- money. I'm...

    Another smart, but ultimately ignored, comment.

    Been trying to get a job in the rail industry for a year: is it worth it?

    In what way are my comments 'militant'? What a bizarre thing to say. I'm not advising anyone- it's just how it is... if the OP enters this 'grade' then they should know what they are in for.... if you were low-paid before, then yes, it's a step up. The smarter posts give the reality, this...
