Pros
Decent pay for a low stress and not very physically demanding job. If you live by the phone and take every call you can make upwards of 70k. That's if you never take a day off.
Cons
Unless you are able to hold a regular job, you will be working on-call all the time. Of course most of the time the phone will ring in the middle of the night which is no fun. You will miss your kids birthdays , games , and your wife. Most longtime railroaders have been divorced. The railroad ranks up there with the military when it comes to divorces. So all that money you might make, will be called for. You will be a broke s.o.b. with no life when it's all said and done.
