"I just started as an operator-in-training two months ago. I’m making $32/hr while training, and I’ll be making around $105k/yr after I’m licensed with shift differential and OT. It’s competitive where I am, though. I’m 1 of 12 trainees hired this year from an application pool of over 600. I do have a bachelor's degree in a non-related field and over a decade of experience in beverage manufacturing. It does seem like a generally chill job until it isn’t, and the smells aren’t great."

"Being a conductor is pretty chill if you land in the right terminal as well. A lot harder if you're in a place with a lot of work, though."
