Saving Stuff

I have just received a job offer from the MTA as a train operator with a starting salary of $27 an hour. I am?

presently working as a peace officer in a public library. I currently make about $35,000 a year, but my job is very easy and comfortable, which makes the day go by fast. My question is: what will it be like to drive a subway all day long? Is there anyone who knows what this position is like and can advise me before I make a big mistake? Should I keep the job that I am comfortable in, rather than risk losing both?
FYI: The position that is being offered is with the NYC subway. What also REALLY bothers me about leaving the library job is that I get 4 weeks paid vacation after 4 years. In the MTA you get 4 week after 7 years (and you don’t get ANY vacation the first year!!!)
I travel a lot and CHERISH my time off. Losing this extra time to travel around the world is a BIG blow to me.

You are already on the right track by listing the differences.

Make a Pro & Con list for each job because it often clarifies your thoughts.

It seems like this is going to come down to money vs time off. The MTA job including any overtime will be about double what you are making now.

Time off is big but how sure are you that you’re going to be a the library in 4 years?

Also do you have the option to take some unpaid time off in the first year with the MTA? (a year goes by really fast on a busy job)

Try that pro & con list and see which issue (Money vs time off)becomes the deal breaker and go with the one you will enjoy the most.

unsolved serial killer – Ice Pick Killer from Grand Central Station

I remember of a serial killer from the late 70s-early 80′s using an “ice pick” during the rush hour in NYC at the Grand Central Station. The killer had knowledge of the human body because the method he used was bumping into a victim and then stabbed up words under the ribs and into the heart. since it was during rush hour by the time people noticed anything the killer was lost within the crowd. close to 20 people were killed and then it stop. my question is is there any update of the case, i dont see anything of this case online, only in the library.

I remember this, this was not in the early 80s, it was during the late 70s. as a former worker at Grand Central, NYC was going through a lot of the Son of Sam killings. there are news clippings from the NEW YORK TIMES in the Library. The case was never solved and it was a killing spree from 77-79. The person that says it never happen must be a young individual and did not live during this time, researching the subject in libraries will help more. I do know that there was a connection to the 4P murders that is still continuing today since the 60s, theory has it that the 2 may be connected
