They do make bank. A coworker of mine has a friend in this business and they only work a few months a year and make like 6 figures.

That being said…by the sound of it, some of you ladies wouldn’t be able to hack it on the Extreme Adventure course in the Adirondacks :lol.

They make on average 41-60k a year. Look up transmission tower climber salary. I couldn’t believe they would do that shit for that little pay.

My diaper would be full of shit by the 50ft mark.

You’d think they’d just put extras up there and flip a switch when one goes out.

:rofl :rofl

I know I was tethered Chad :rofl. That’s why I put the :lol at the end of that ladies comment lol.

Still, I did slip off the line at one point and it is scary at first because you forget that you are secured. I can’t imagine doing that half a mile in the air though.

This might be another ‘group’ in that industry. The one my coworker was talking about are the guys that check the actual lines and stuff I guess for some of the high tower wires, etc.

For that much pay…might as well just do what I do lol. Much safer. :lol

Yea the pay doesn’t seem to match up, but I believe they only work a few days of the year.
