Heights don't bother me. Combine them with 500kV and you'll need to find someone else.

It seems a job where an organized sociopath could do well. It's goal directed, it doesnt involve social interaction, emotions and fear are a disadvantage and it provides enough challenge to make it interesting.

Fuck...
You would figure they would make it a bit more of a normal ladder.  :wowz:

I would still do it for the money -assuming they get paid a decent coin.  However it would take me forever to do it, since I would be tying my self off every step of the way.

Are massive balls a requirement for this job? I almost passed out just watching! :eek:




i was leaning my chair back towards the end when he was getting on top of the tower and felt like i was about to fall backwards.:eek: that job would be intense, i wonder if they ever get used to it.

I would LOVE to do that job.

If you had some type of quick release system for the tool bag it would be easy to BASE if you fell off, 1600ft is enough time to do an unstable exit, enter a track and still deploy safely.




i was thinking about this the whole time i was watching it. it would be cool to have a parachute just for emergencies/accidents at least.

how often do you think they have accidents...?

Sure, but this is one of those jobs where sociopathy can be an occupational advantage, just like aspergers can be in computer programming.

Not really.  In the video the guy had a climbing partner, and in a job like that you wouldn't want a sociopath as a climbing partner.

You guys are underestimating the appeal of this job :vaped: I would climb that tower for free.

I'm going to look into it but I'm assuming they're all 4-year trade qualified in a relevant skill and my trade is in commercial cookery ftl :facepalm:

If it doesn't require a trade, giddy up :thumbup:

I know 3 people with similar jobs, one has a ph.d., one a 4 year, and one (my brother) a 2 year from ITT Tech so :shrug:. In what I can't exactly remember, telecommunications or engineering I think. All of them work for various phone companies.

Yeah that's what I assumed.

I'll just have to illegally climb them at some point in the future for BASE :thumbup:

Na I don't care about dying, doesn't bother me in the slightest.

I do care about injuries/pain though, I'm more scared of an activity where you break limbs if you fuck up then something like the OP where you die if you fuck up.

Na I'm completely antisocial :cool: I ended up embracing it rather then fighting it.

I get a rush from putting myself in situations that are extremely uncomfortable.

So far heavy exercise and adventure/extreme sport are the only things I've found that you can do solo and fulfill the requirement.

Stuff like getting a new job, meeting new people, public speaking, raising a family etc. are the "bad" type of challenge, shit that involves other people I avoid like the plague.

I would literally prefer to climb that tower in the OP then go to a job interview, now THAT's seriously uncomfortable.

well... aside from that anti-social part... my friend would seem that he would rather impart his life then be bored.

he is one of the nicest persons i know so... i'd impart the same commonality to you. don't go and die now.

but keep up those urges. :thumbup:
