you're a conductor on some of the trains in the nyc subway system? it's pretty cool, you like your job? tourist, but have ridden nyc subway many times.

It has it's ups and downs. The hardest thing to get used to is the randomized schedules and crazy hours and commutes when you're new. Be ready to kiss your weekends, nights, and holidays goodbye. But as we get more seniority, we'll be able to pick your own reporting times and locations. The pay and benefits are good, and working on a train is pretty exciting and getting to ride them for free anywhere in NY is cool. Moving up to higher positions is pretty easy as well, and our union fights pretty hard for us whenever an incident occurs that could threaten our jobs.

Unfortunately conductors are the #1 most assaulted employees here so we gotta keep our heads on a swivel. Whenever there's delays, passengers want to take their frustration out on the first employee they see. There has been a lot of crime and other issues lately like switch problems and track fires. But generally I have more good days than bad
