Answer 2

If you can get this job at AmTrak as a

train conductor, you got yourself a

I am sure it pays good.

Answer 3

I'd imagine so because being a conductor for Amtrak means your working for the government. And any job in the government leaves you set for life as long as you are productive and are not a problem.
