HAHA Yeah, i thought the same thing too.
what is surprising however, is thata how the did they build that tower? and if it was a large crane, then why can't they use it to make repairs/inspection, etc.... it's not like one dude carried piece by piece up to make it. i dunno. |

b) How much does that guy get paid.

I knew a guy who was a spider-crawler, welding on the highrises in downtown Denver. He made about $20/hr, which is pretty decent seeing as how the training is somewhat basic. He said the heights never bothered him too terribly, it was the wind that ing makes your job suck on some days. |

That's not a lot considering the US Census paid $19/hr + mileage to press a doorbell and push a pencil. I've worked with doctors who bill $3,000/hr now that's pretty decent. |

Are you sure that wasn't just base salary? I have a feeling when you take into account their penalty wages, it gets much bigger than that. |
