Wind turbine technician? I DON’T THINK SO!!!!!!!! But I did enjoy TWC’s piece on this career.
Helicopter lineman. Not sure if I want to do that
Avalanche Controller: You may have never heard of this job, but to be an Avalanche Controller takes an insane amount of bravery. Their job is to drop bombs on mountainous areas where avalanches are possible. They target weak layers of snow and create avalanches so nobody is injured or killed by an unexpected one. Avalanche Controllers are fearless and are concerned for the safety of others.
Interesting… I am a dare devil but I feel like this is too much/would be boring… I’d prefer Broadcast Meteorologist or Storm Chaser…
Avalanche controller hahahaha
I got Wind Turbine Technician!
I got the unique recommendation of being a Smoke Jumper, how amazing is that!!! There are currently less than 500 smokejumpers in America because this job is so extreme. They jump out of a plane to areas that can’t be reached by fire truck, put out the wild fire then set up camp in case the fires flare back up or more pop up. They have to be bold brave and willing to risk their lives for the safety of others. Wow!!!
