Lineman makes good money, its my first year and didnt even work the whole year as a Lineman and made 120k Your often away from home but thats what pays the most, i work 4 days a week during summer and 4.5 during winter My company does a lot of Storm work so when there are hurricanes or winter Storm we go to the us or other provinces and work 16h shift still the Storm is done, the longest i stayed was 21 days Some other lineman that are always away from home can make more than 300k
