yup!
I actually just completed my internship as part of my bachellors program, and will be moving on to the master program in two weeks. by next spring, I should be able to get a good biotech job!
I have definitely adopted a policy of patience. I've pretty much all but stopped buying anything unless it REALLY fits in to what I want to model, and even then, only if its a "priority" model, which may be rare or difficult to obtain (like the GP40P i mentioned, as well as possible Arrow II kits) . I know collecting all the passenger cars I want will be tricky, and a good chunk i'll have to make myself from brass car sides, such as the Jersey Builder trains.
Though I have no doubt it will be difficult to collect those metroliners, I am not TOO concerned. Even with a nice job, I'm sure I won't be able to justify more than one or two in a sitting anyway. It may take me 4-6 years, but thats just fine. The way I figure it, I won't even have the space for a layout to run these trains for many years anyway.
