I used to be a lineman. Honestly I'd almost prefer doing the high voltage stuff. Distribution is more of a pain in the rear in it's own way, and in it's own way more dangerous. Me knees are killed from climbing and I have bad joint pain fro too many lightning strikes doing storm restoration give me a high paying whirly bird anytime.

I just got into line-work and love it so far! It is not easy but it is interesting and challenging!
