    Have you ever worked with any helicopter-linemen that work on the lines while reaching out from a hovering helicopter? I saw that on Discovery. Craziness!!

    My brother is a lineman for PG&E in Northern CA. High risk job but it pays well. A guy he worked with recently commited suicide on the yard. He took his bucket up to the power lines and grabbed on. He lived for about 1 week after. They amputated both his arms but eventually he was taken off of life support and died.

    That's my specialty too! Quite a secure job working with the user, because there is always one that will want more and manage to screw it up beyond normal repair.

    Work on a large commercial farming operation. Not a bad gig, our harvest spans pretty much the whole summer, but I make up for that by taking quite a few ski days in the winter :)
