Working for Amtrak is something I have wanted to do my entire life. My plans after high school was to get on with a railraod, preferably Amtrak. I was lucky enough to get an athletic scholarship which eventually will lead to a degree....(2 weeks). A free education was something I could not pass up. I applied for a position with Amtrak as an assistant conductor. My question is will my degree hurt my chances to get on with Amtrak?
