I’d say high rise iron workers seem the coolest. Think back to that black and white picture everyone has seen of the two guys sitting on a beam hundreds of feet up eating lunch.

Hard to beat those pictures
Id give honorable mention to linemen. Casually handling thousands of volts from the top of a bucket truck while traffic whizzes past is pretty badass. Plus responding to emergencies like hurricanes, tornadoes etc. Its also usually a union job.
Im just a wireman myself, I like to keep my shocks under 277V
We had a lineman up here get attacked by a cougar. Fought off the cat with a 4-inch pocketknife, got himself out of the bush and to a highway before getting a ride to the hospital.
Absolute badass.
I knew someone who did this kind of work. They don’t wait until the weather improves. They climb poles in 70mph winds with sideways blowing hail and lightning if that’s what needs to happen. That’s crazy hardcore!
Oh yeah. Waaay more guts than ive got. They make good money and by God they earn it
Linemen also have a cool song about them
Always cracks me up when Ron Swanson sings this while stealing cable for April and Andy 🤣
