Wages are determined by open market. More people available to do the job, wages goes down by itself. Less people willing to do a certain job, wages go up automatically. There is a supply and demand curve to it. Fighter pilots get paid 35 to 38k. Pilot instructors get paid $10 to $15 an hour. Same with tandem jumping instructor. They do the job, cuz they love it, and there is more competition to do it.
Cameraman never gets the credit they deserve even though they're doing the same thing and then some of whomever they're filming. 👍 Here is another awesome video showing how it was done back in the day. ruclips.net/video/7QCYDzsQ_yM/видео.html
Doug Harper I’m not saying that the camera is not safely strapped in, MY POINT IS, the camera men in any tv show never get enough credit. Take this for an example, a camera man the worked for Live PD, or cops or one of those shows got shot and killed trying to film. All I’m saying, camera man and women don’t get enough credit.

I was a bridgepainter for about 6 years of my career as a union painter. There is something special about it, being up that high, where few people dare to go. But, knowing that others had been there before you, had built it and repaired it and painted it reminds you that humans can do just about anything, and that anybody can do this, if they put their mind to it. You have to set aside your fear of falling off the bridge, and replace fear with respect. A guy in this video is right when he says the day you stop fearing it is the day something bad happens.

Jah Roos when does that come up in day to day conversation though oh yeah i wonder how many people actually give a bollocks about the paint on a bridge you could probably only see if you were passing by it on a helicopter 🚁 or aeroplane ✈ i hate illiterate people who call them airplanes
Here's a news report that has meaning. Showing hard working Americans happy to be working and proud of what they do. Need more stories like this.
They could offer me a cool 1/2 million bucks and I still wouldn’t do it.
Same here. Not even 2 million for me
This gives me anxiety since I hate being in high places
Then don't touch weed. You'll have a panic attack.
@@StabbySabby lmao weed is ok but Takinh DAB is nother story
newsman and his producer got some balls !
David Louis I know I was thinking the same thing
"There's been nine times that I've actually been scared." That's a great take.
Have you ever fallen?
Yes. It's centuries before.
And women wants equal pay by doing just office works.
😂😂😂😂😢😢😢
RAZOR12334 you’re absolutely correct.
Lmfao
RAZOR12334 tf?

anticops doctorfox
I feel you I work at an electronic factory in Shanghai
Adan Garcia A Latino working in China I call bs bro
Xavier Mondragon Jr lmao same
Adan Garcia bullshit.
Oh hell no 😩 I commend those painters! They deserve millions annually
They have true story to tell their grand children.
Serious question: why paint it? Corrosion resistance?
u srs?
spot on
yup
Because the alternative is to make the bridge out of solid platinum. You want to pay 500% tax to fund it?
You think that's scary, watch the video of the guy changing a bulb on a tower that's almost 2,000 feet high.
Marchant2 omg ikr... fuck that. I wouldn't do either. I literally wouldn't be able to move.
Bring that shit on! Just piss off with the bees!
:) link???
My dad literally was talking about that the other day. He said he watched a guy go up just to change a bulb! Crazy!
Brittney B. Williams 😭😭😭
i go to the park in jersey all the time at 2:24 in between her back and harness. i love seeing this bridge. it's just beautiful and seperates 2 great states. love it how these guys are brave enough to walk above one of the craziest places to drive.
Mentally, I could do it.
But physically, not a chance in hell.
My body wouldn't allow it
What does that even mean
@@user-pe2yx9kt4e yeah
@@user-pe2yx9kt4e 😂😂😂😂
It seems like a safe but scary job. Even though you are in no real danger it's hard to get past the biological fear response.
dogeness 🌹 there is a real danger
dogeness 🌹 I guess falling off a several hundred foot bridge into traffic isn’t dangerous.
Its a scary job believe me there is nothing safe about it.
@@davidlopez-rl4sh EVERYTHING is safe about this job... they have TWO harness. They are in zero danger even if they slip and "fall".
@@sakialadar5559 right
I don't have a fear of high places. I do, however, have a fear of falling from high places.
Damn am getting chills just by watching somebody walking on top of the bridge i can't even walk the stairs to the third floor props to these brave employees😣
