Locomotive Engineer
I am sure that most of you played with trains or locomotives when you were little and dreamed to be the man behind the wheel when you grow up.
When we were little this job was a little odd and fun we thought, but by the time we grew, we saw it can be possible and it pays pretty good.
The job implies that you have a license for both passenger trains and freight trains, have experience as a conductor for other mechanical devices, familiar or with a PhD in engineering or mechanical studies and a lot of training.
With an average salary around $64,000 this is a pretty odd job because, besides checking speed, temperature, oil, battery, or changing lanes, as a locomotive engineer, you are in charge with inspecting the train, prepare routes and schedule the entire trip you are going to take.
Pretty simple when you talk about it, but this is a demanding and odd jobs that places you all over the country in a couple of days.
