IMHO, the two occupations whose practitioners don't get paid enough are
coal miners and HV bare-hand linemen. God bless them all.

You are right about this. You should see the guys who do this out of a
bucket truck. Or the guys who leap out of the chopper onto the top of the
towers to do the maintenance. I saw that sort of thing when I was a teen
living on my dad's farm. It looked like so much fun, I am now a Power
Lineman. BTW, you do get danger pay to wear the "aluminum underwear"
Just think about these guys the next time you throw a light switch.
