[QUOTE="Mos Eisley, post: 1285187, member: 7235"] "America's most lethal job is on cell towers. Workers' accident rate is higher than that of loggers, miners or offshore fishermen. According to statistics cobbled together by industry groups, 10 workers died in 2004, 48 in 2005, 18 in 2006, and eight so far in 2007. Some workers fell 80 feet to their deaths; some fell 1,100 feet, about twice the height of Tampa's tallest skyscrapers, likely reaching 125 mph." That came from an old article. I know from being in the Industry that 2008 & 2009 were also bad years. I don't care what it pays it won't make up for your kids not having a father. And believe me, there are lots of guys out there willing to do it for less than $20/hr so it's not like you're gonna get rich doing it either. [/QUOTE]
