It all depends on what sort of job you are looking for, what interests you?

Most operators are after drivers at the moment

There are a number of opportunities......Driver being the most popular

But there are other jobs that are available, for example:

1.) Track Gang, Looking after the track is an important job (Schooling is required)2.) Signal Tech, Keeping the signalling working is another important job (Some knowledge of electrical systems would be handy) (Schooling is required)3.) Signal Adjuster, He looks after all the mechanical systems, but they are being phased out so its not a good idea4.) Signalman, What about having the power to control the trains, much like that in a model railway (Schooling Required)5.) Station Staff, Not a very interesting job, more like an office job6.) Conductor, Not sure if schooling is required but i assume it would7.) Shunter, Interesting but dangerous job. (Schooling Required)

There are others but they are the main ones

EDIT: I forgot about the patrolman, patrolling the tracks on a hi-rail is interesting, but there is alot to learn with that.

That's if you don't get cleaned up by a train coming up your rear end first, if your not meant to be there in the first place.
