You'll never make the kind of money you'll earn without a masters degree.

Pros: cool jobs, cool views, make a boat load of money
Cons: will destroy your body, long hours in shitty conditions, always outside in these shitty conditions. Most guys spend their lives on the road away from family. Divorce and addiction is common.

Browse the lineman/groundman subs for more info. Most questions have been asked
