<p>Sharkbite: You do realize his passion GOT him the job, right? Anthony made a fan website about riding Amtrak trains that got millions of hits, Amtrak noticed, and gave him a job. It's not like his dad owned Amtrak or anything.</p>
<p>So it was a combination of things: his passion for trains, his writing ability, his coding ability... You can't say that the job (which wasn't executive, IIRC) got him in, because his passion got him the job.</p>
<p>He posts here, too...</p>
