If you're tough enough linemen make good money and it's a paid apprenticeship. You can go union or non-union and make a good living with real job security.

I knew a guy that apprenticed in this as well.

He said his legs had never hurt as bad as they did when they went through the apprenticeship climbing poles.

Its allegedly like climbing a piece of concrete whatever they treat them with makes then hard as a rock.

Some places use CCA poles. They are hard as fuck. Other types of poles, like Penta, aren't bad at all.
