>>2800572looked into jobs and antarctica a while back and saw a suprising amount of them were blue collar work like framers and builders, and another huge chunk were transportation and logi roles like shipping conatiner moving cranes, buses, large forklifts, etc. I take it your doing something similar?
how long are you out there at a time? does it pay arlight?
I've heard when the weather gets really bad in those places everyone just gets hammered and has huge fuck piles, true?
>what is your jobWildland Fire fighter, BLM
>soul crushing?actually fantastic! 99 percent of everyone I've worked with so far in my few years has been great. there's 1 or 2 bad apples but always going to be in any job. commraderie and brotherhood is real. I've been able to travel all over the country, flown out in helicopters to pristine mountain wildernesses and spend all day working hard with the boys. Good culture amongst people in the job, all walks of life. Lots of ex military dudes, granola ultra runner girls, and cool mexicans. (bonus for no blacks)
pay is good but only for the fact that i work a fuck ton of hours, (110+ a week usually). No bills becuase i'm traveling and camping with the crew the whole time, can save good money. pulled 40k in pure savings last season.
i get the winters off to mooch unemployment.
for a young single guy its a good gig
I can tell you the long term prospects of the job are dismal and if you plan of supporting a family is bad, plus the retirement is dogshit. Gonna do 1 or 2 more season and get out.
>how to get an /out/ job out of collegedunno, never went
got out of the military and saw the feds were hiring. Got the job in like 3 phone calls.
