I payed my way through college climbing towers others wouldn't climb. I only had to work a few times a semester. i always demanded cash before I climbed and brought a college buddy to hold the cash. 35 years ago I got paid $3000 to relamp a tower nobody would climb. Two cross members came off in my hand on the way up. What a rust bucket.
i am not suggesting anyone do the same, but some else may want to go to college too.
