Shoulda saw it coming the second you talked about yourself mang.
Who needs a big pay cheque when every day at work is such a thrill? Looks crazy at first, but these guys are used to it; and of course, it's not like you just climb to extreme heights straight away, I'm sure you'd train gradually until your head no longer spins when you look down. I'm ok with heights as long as I'm securely attached to something; but again, the kind of heights we're talking here are something else entirely.

Frontline had a report on this. No, they get paid shit and there is little sight.

A lot of tower climbers would rather die than work a desk job. I imagine that the adrenaline rush is pretty addictive.

Was the original post edited also?
The OP made it, cleared it, and restored it. Don't think it has been changed otherwise.

It must have been in the title, then, because I don't see anything in the OP that constitutes "bragging". Either way, there seem to be a lot of projection by people who are jealous and/or dissatisfied with their pay.

Then I don't understand why the OP is getting a hard time. I wouldn't do that job for under 6 figures either. That shits crazy.
the original title was "I feel guilty for making more than these guys/Tower Climbers"
EDIT as the OP says

I didn't realize admitting to making more than 40-60k would get some people that heated, relevance to the topic aside.

Wonder if it's a set price or if you're paid per climb. If I could be assured 40k to 50k a year travelling around climbing stuff I would take it.
Hell I envy these men and women. They get to have all the fun. I need to look into this more.

You could make $100,000 a day Gaime, but you still look like this.

Are we allowed to use people's Real Pics in an argument? That's kinda fucked up.

There are people that make more money than others. Why is that considered "bragging" when they barely mention it? Get a grip, fuck.
Tower climbing is scary as shit, saw a POV video and I was getting dizzy. Considering the risks, they should be compensated more.

what is even going on in this thread?
It's an incredibly bad photo from ~6 years ago that av and some other gaffers obtained while facebook stalking me
What happened was that I had spent all night studying for a math final in college, and, while returning to the dorm from it, one of my friends popped out in the hallway and unexpectedly said "Smile," camera in hand.
So I went "Hurr durrrr..." in my attempt to smile and that photo was born.

I would never do something like that. Way too dangerous.
During the video I was thinking about my fear of heights in general. I wondered for a moment if that would change if we had wings. I mean if we could stand on top of some large structure and just jump off and fly around. I know there's parachutes and gliders but it's not the same thing.
Also, I have to laugh at that poor attempt at insulting someone over their looks. As if whether someone won the genetic lottery or not matters.

Stick to GA, Gaime :/
I do agree with you though, but on the otherhand - the towers they build are just capitalist symbols.
