I work in the construction industry and I must say, those dudes have balls of steel. I was talking to one of them a few weeks ago at our office and he was a great guy. His gear is insane.Originally Posted by scooterbrah

Degree always. (Unless trash major). IT is solid.
Lineman is a rough trade. Underpaid for what you put your body through.

Am in PT. Have treated several linemen. Dudes are real men SRS. Cant really have fear or anxiety, they seem like the type that be like frontiersmen in the olden days.
Most had wrecked shoulders by their 50s. IMO go for the degreePhila crew

Something to consider is if you're a lineman you may be required to be on call, and when you're working your way up to get seniority for a good territory you may be getting shipped all over and that life isn't for everyone.
I work a job with similar conditions and I fuarking hate being on call. Quality of life sucks, and living some where you hate and not being able to disconnect from work when you get home is horrible.
Making 90 a year currently and I hate my life. Only working to save for hair transplant and down payment on a house. (Hair started falling out hard think due to stress tbh).
