Where have all the high-voltage linemen gone?

Looking for a job? How about working way up in the air, in all kinds of weather, with thousands of volts of electricity?

The industry is also looking for more women, a rarity in a field with only about one woman for every hundred men.

Working on high voltage lines pays well and doesn’t require a degree, but electric utilities are hard-pressed to replace retiring linemen.

If you want to learn about the dedication and character needed to be a lineman, look no further than a place with a super-abundance of line workers: the International Lineman’s Rodeo https://www.linemansrodeokc.com/ .
