Looking forward to seeing some interesting jobs I haven't really thought about. Bonus points if it's an IT job.

If you aren't risk adverse I hear undersea welders make a ton.

Damn man not even "not risk averse" I'd say, so much as "if you died or were permanently maimed you'd be okay with that". I have heard too many stories about how horribly wrong those jobs can go. I know that's kinda what "not risk averse" implies here, but it also feels like what I'd say about someone who doesn't lock their car after parking in the bad part of town.

Getting sucked into a pipe through an opening that's a few mm thick isn't my idea of a fun death

Idk I guess at least it seems pretty quick???

At any rate, I think I'll stay above water personally.
