The Job New Hampshire Workers Refuse, Even for Double the Salary

If you ask someone from New Hampshire if they would like to double their salary, you would think that they'd say yes. But, there is one profession that gets a big, fat NO, even at double the pay.

According to trdsf.com, New Hampshire workers would not choose to be a power line worker and the reasons are solid.

It sure doesn't look like fun. The poles and lines have to be maintained. Somebody's got to do it, but no one wants to. It's risky.

New Hampshire Weather Stinks in the Winter

The article states, and we know this from seeing them work, that the job includes high risk at high heights. Also, a power line worker is going to sent out in the worst of New Hampshire weather; snow, ice, wind, etc., you name it.

Not to mention the risk of getting electrocuted. They have to work in the rain and snow to try to reconnect our electricity. It's a thing. We've all seen the toasted squirrels on the line.

Massachusetts and Maine Don't Want to Be Commercial Fisherman

The article also states that the Maine and Massachusetts job that they wouldn't do for double to the pay is Commercial Fisherman due to the long hours and the dangers of being on the water.

We've all seen Deadliest Catch. It's no joke to be on those boats.

The next time we have a power outage, remember the people who go out on the line for us. It's dangerous work and I'm happy that they have chosen it. Otherwise, what would we do? I am miserable without power, so I appreciate them so much.

I'm even happier for the commercial fisherman because... well, lobster. Not really the lobster so much, but the butter that I soak it in. You get the idea.

Would you be a Power Lineman for double your pay?
