I'd just like to know what some blue-collar railway careers are so I can have a look into them in case I ever go for the railway. I know drivers, guards and on board staff is blue-collar (at least in the traditional sense) but I've never worked a day in my life, and you know by now I can't really count on getting into them roles as an inexperienced outsider.
I ask specifically for blue-collar work because I've done two weeks of work experience in an office, and while it was good it was drop-dead boring. White-collar work to me feels so unproductive, and I'd rather clean my whole house than sit down on a computer being told what to write. I want to use computers for fun, not for a living.
So what blue-collar jobs are available on the railway for an outsider who has very little or no work experience under his belt? Would be very much appreciated if you could simply name a role and tell me about it so I can consider looking into it if I ever decide to go for the railway.
