NYC subway conductor makes 86K per year

That's not a bad gig. Get to drive trains, see the city on the daily, sit in a small "box" and have minimal human contact by radio. Sounds like the perfect Misc job.

Natasha Dinnall, 51, works as a subway conductor in NYC and earns about $86,000 per year. Natasha joined the MTA in 1992 and took her first job with the agency as a property protection agent and later became a station agent, conductor, train operator, and finally a conductor again.

That's a poverty salary in NYC. You'd be living in some sh!t hole like Harlem just to be able to afford rent, otherwise you'll be commuting 1+ hours every day in traffic just to live in a semi-affordable sh!thole. The tristate area is a garbage place to live, thank God I left. (Super Ded fkn Srs)

My job is similar to a conductor except I don’t work onboard the train, instead pretty much based at the station.
Your job is being a loser with no high income skills. Ded fkn srs

That was my dream job in 2018 when I was 21 years old. I had a career path written out srs. I was going to become a conductor for a short line railroad (Genesee & Wyoming) then bank some RR retirement, get experience and become an engineer after 5 years so I could drive the trains. It would’ve been fkin awesome. Then longer term (10 years or so) I would use those skills to work for an urban transit company like the MTA because I’m a city dude at heart.

Amtrak was my backup plan, I just didn’t want to deal with the general public.

Probably could’ve retired at like 45 with good benefits and a fulfilling career traveling and doing cool chit. Instead cold feet about being on call got the best of me, so I stayed hunched over at a desk and solidified my future as an officel loser.

Feelsbadman.

I can't imagine how suicidal the average person would be if they sat on the misc for a few weeks.

I agree btw. $200k is the new $100k. Anything less is scrapping by.

Used a Nerdwallet calculator. Assuming she actually lives in NY, she makes anywhere from what would be ~$34k - ~$89k in Florida. New York has such a wide range of CoL it's crazy srs.

The video didn't mention anything about a 401k match, but either way the video mentioned she gets a pension.

Apparently many pension plans have CoL / inflation adjustments, but by and large the pension plan doesn't keep up properly, and after 15 years of retirement the average pension plan provides 7% less income for this reason.https://www.oecd.org/pensions/How-in...s-pensions.pdf

Isn’t 86k like absolute poverty in NYC?


The only saving grace is a pension if they offer one

86k in NYC is poverty. And stuck in a little box 10 hours a day? Sounds inhumane.

All these conductors probably have to becomes customers of the train after their shift to back back home 1.5 hours away.

Besides I plan to progress to train driver eventually, so in a few years will be on a mogger salary while only working 35 hours a week.
Have you gotten your driver's license yet?
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

the MTA benefits are probably the best thing about the job. Great healthcare, holiday pay, vacation. She'll have a great pension, retirement. Great job security also. Shes pretty much untouchable unless she royally ****s up.

Overvall its not too bad. I think the worse part is probably being stuck in the box all day

No one in the UK is struggling on six figures, even in London where the cost of living/house prices etc is extortionate.
of course people still struggle in London on 6 figures. they cannot afford to buy there. and renting is 2k+ a month and eating out is £££
