I’d love to work in Antarctica. I’d never pass the psych evaluation, though. Would be just my luck I’d have one of my major depression episodes and decide it’s a good idea to go freeze to death in the frozen desert. Given how great my last few days have been, it honestly doesn’t sound like a terrible idea now.
I heard you get cancer easily there.
Me on my phone looking at antarctic sunrise
@kevzag@fediscience.org Defienetely not fighting a space horror monster on an antarctic station.
Hey, anyone know why the helicopter was trying to shoot this dog? No? OK let’s just put it in the kennel, what’s the worst that happens??
I mean, “it’s a shapeshifting alien that wants to kill us” would be pretty down on my list and “these Norgs have lost their mind” would be quite high there
I would die to get on an Antarctic research station. Too bad they probably don’t need computer scientists.
Legit question, any way to get into the antarctic research statiom without having a PhD or being a grad student
Firefighter, cook, medic, manager, air traffic controller, pilot, driver, heavy equipment operator…
My friends uncle worked in Antarctica as a janitor/matinence guy
This, I remember that some 20 years ago when going to the Antarctica for a PhD seemed like a good idea, I found a job where they were looking for a plumber. The pay was insane at that time
Think they could use an electrician?
Probably! Edit: actually, yes: https://www.amentumcareers.com/jobs/search?country_codes[]=AQ&page=2&query=Antarctica
There are several different arctic programs… take a look at the different programs, maybe you’ll find something
Plumber? What for? Don’t they just dig up ice and melt it?🤔
Do you think a PhD knows how to fix a toilet?
That was two different things, I was checking if there are any fun offers there and found this one. I wouldn’t start my plumbing career in -40C
I guess poop needs to go somewhere, too
It doesn’t come out as frozen shards that you can just throw away?😵💫
Having so much money you can dictate terms to world governments is quite popular these days.
You probably thought of snowmobile and bolt cutters already
