I have some questions
Lineman is a physically demanding job. What happens to linemen when they start to get old? Do they have a shot at moving into management positions, or do their employers just dump them and replace them with younger people? What kind of jobs can linemen get after they're too old to be linemen anymore?
I don't know the answers to these questions, but the lack of people seeking lineman careers suggests that the answers are not pretty. I sure as heck wouldn't want a job that left me unemployed with no useful skills long before I was ready to retire.
