So the operator box caught fire while the operator was in there? Luckily he got out but holy fuck that would be scary.
I could never do that job. Its not just the fear of heights. Its the fear of any of the catastrophic failures that could happen.
It’s always struck me as one of the best jobs in construction (not too hard on the body), but also always seemed like something that you needed to have balls of steel for.
I could never do it. 20 story balconies are too high for me and I’ve got a solid building under me and 2 feet planted on something solid. Doesn’t help that so many movies have people falling of cranes
It pays really well, all you need is your commercial driver's license, you take a 3 month course that costs a couple grand and then it's a cool 100k+ per year and usually if you can get a permanent position you get LOA
But yeah the reasons you listed are why it's so high paying lol
100k+ does not mean what it used to.
Yup, still more than average pay though.. unfortunately
definately. Its just that I know im going to make 6 figures and will die a millionaire but it won't mean much next to the trillionaires of the time.
