Honestly? If you love trains, hate people, and need cash—go for it. But if you crave a chatty office or a 9-to-5 sleep schedule, run. The pay is high because the price is high. Your health, your social life, your sanity.
Think about it: a driver earns more than a university professor. But they also have to deal with vomit on the seats at 2 AM. Everything has a cost, baby.
So next time you’re stuck in a tunnel, looking at that driver’s cabin, don’t be jealous. Be thankful. They’re earning your annual salary just to get you home slightly delayed. And they probably still can’t afford a house in Zone 1.
Verdict: Good money. Weird life. Would you do it? Be honest.
