Rail Transportation Occupations :

Rail Transportation Occupations is a job that requires a lot of hands on experience.They're many task that can be preformed.For example,

"Railroad brake operators". They're pretty much assistant for engineers,handling coupling and uncoupling cars.

"Signal operators" do most of (what a call) the "Fun Part". They install,maintain,and repair signal on the tracks and in yards. A lot of work.

"Switch operators" control track switches within the rail road.

Now with that said let's talk about the requirements and training.Before I go any farther applicants must be 21 years of age. Must have their High school diploma or a GED.Next you MUST good hearing, sharp eyesight, and pretty good hand-eye coordination.Physical stability is needed, drug and alcohol screening,and a criminal background.None of that should be a problem for me!

Employees are paid by the hour.They may work over 40 hours a week,24 hours a day (mostly because trains run 24 hours a day) so you gotta have some energy to burn.

Broadcast and Sound Engineering Technicians and Radio Operators

Broadcasters and radio operators are engineers that work behind the scenes of radio, television shows, concerts, plays, or movies. Field technicians are the people that set up video equipment, microphones, sound speakers,wires and cables, and mixing boards to film live shows. Engineering is very fast pace keen competition that waits for no one especially in major metropolitan areas such as New York and Los Angeles. The annual earnings of sound engineers is $43,850 to $57,420. That's about an average amount I can live with.

In the summer of 2003 an internship I was offered at a public radio station called WHCR from City College. I had heard it from my mother who is fan of the station, no less than a week after the interview I got the job! The very first thing I started with was observation, for two weeks I had to watch and make notes on what and what-not do . Just about two weeks later I was on the mixing board, playing music, and commercials.

It will be 4 years in June of this coming year. My experience on this job has led me to a hands on Experience that has increased my technological skills and the equipment I've used is worth more than money can buy.
