New Direction

O.k. here's how my journey ended. After speaking to some Union Pacific employees in North Platte and Denver I realized that this was not the life I wanted to give my family. Turns out the divorce rate on the R.R. is high, apparently due to the lifestyle of a railroad employee. In the end I was offered a position as an operations manager for a surgical instrument company here in Denver and I chose that position over the railroad. I have no regrets and was thankful to be chosen by Union Pacific. If anything here helps someone else then I suppose the journey was worth the effort.
