So as of now Im a Sign installer, its a pretty cool job. Guarantied 40 as long as you show up. What I love the most is we get to work with electricity and up in the air. There is something so tranquil about being 100 feet up just doing your thing. No one really bothers you unless they really have to. Iv been throwing around ideas in my head of what kind of other jobs are out there where you working much higher than 100 feet. I want to go higher. I have done good searches but its the generic stuff of be a skydiving instructor and so on. Also a friend told be about rope access jobs which sounds super cool to me. I can dig it. Yesterday I was talking to this guy I met he was telling me about elevator techs, they make bank and travel quite a bit. Another thing is my homie and I are wanting to go back to school to finish our engineering degrees. Since we both want to it would be great motivation for us to keep them A's up. With an engineering degree what other doors open? I know this is the Junk Pile but I know someone here is in the know. Thanks for reading fellas. Any info is always good info.

Engineering? Structural Engineering maybe? Work on high rises. -
The dude that changes the lights on top of towers (so the planes can see 'em) makes bank from what I've been told. I don't like heights so I never looked into it more. Any kind of high tower repair costs our company out the ass so I think the dudes make good money doing repairs too.Comment

One of my best friends used to climb cell phone towers to do the 4g upgrades. He made some serious loot until he fell off of one about 40 feet up.Comment

You don't need a degree to get high at work, fuck I didn't even graduate highschool.
100' in the air, harnessed into a manlift isn't shit.
Roof repairs (& tokin') on 20th story, 30-40 MPH wind gusts, no safety equipment of any kind is in use.
My ass was pretty puckered for the first hour or so, then I relaxed, and just focused on the tasks required of me.
...and yeah, $2,500 for a 12 hr day, was pretty fuckin sweet too!Last edited by Guest; 06-14-2015, 2:50 PM.Comment

I would climb a 85' boom to grease the tip bearing on a old friction crane to get out of starting it and hearing the dam thing it run long enough to lay the boom down then stand it back up first thing in the morning.Anything to do with cranes and man lifts always gets you high at work.

some of those wind turbines go over 300ft.Comment

$45k a year for that? No thanks. I make a lot more than that to sit an air conditioned office and talk shit with my coworkers while we shoot nerf guns at each other, and I rarely work 40 hours a week.Comment
