“Is it COOL to be a WINDOW CLEANER?”

Some people tend to work with their job’s preferences. They consider a job that will make them secured financially and safe while doing their job’s responsibilities. In a real-life setting, there are some jobs that are not favorable to some. For instance, a window cleaner, he works a quite nerve-racking situation. Imagine that he cleans a tall building’s windows. It seems like a Spiderman. I assumed that these people don’t want this kind of job. But then, they don’t have the choice. “Do you think it is a cool job?” “What other dangerous jobs that you know?” Image Credit: officeandgeneral.files.wordpress.com

I suffer of vertigo and this is not something I would like to do. There are many dangerous jobs in the world, working in the deep inside the earth in a mine is also dangerous.

@Shavkat I pity those who work in mines, I would feel sick working so deep inside the earth.

I feel like it is a good job for people who like that adrenaline rush haha but I think it is terrifying.

Even us if we are at a great height, the scary feeling is really there. What more if we are hanging at the side of a tall building.

It is a cool job as an observer but not as a window cleaner. I don't like cleaning my windows but I have done that today.

Good morning, Shav. It looks dangerous to me. I do not want to be a window cleaner. Would not risk anything.

Good day, my friend. I think it is not cool if you die secondary to an accident. I wonder what these people feel when doing it.

I admire their courage. They need to make a living, The windows of the tall building need to be cleaned. But I won't choose such a job.Because it is not an easy job.

That is not a job I would like. Those buildings are so tall, and I know I'd faint from being up so high. Bridge builders also have a job I would find risky.

@Shavkat I am not afraid of heights but someone that is would not like that kind of job. You have to work high up on ledges on this thing they use and what if it breaks then what? Will someone inside or down below see it and help the person?

Well, I'm afraid of heights so...

This job certainly requires that the person be not afraid of heights.

Other jobs that are dangerous? Hmm... isn't being a policeman dangerous? Or a soldier.? I mean, I guess it can be safe some of the times but they will inevitably have some dangerous cases or missions in their time. They do say these people have one foot in the grave. I'll add to that, security personnel, especially of banks...

I do agree with you. If they don't have the fear of heights, then it would be suitable for them. You have a point that having the passion is the key factor in loving this kind of job.

Cleaning the windows of high rise buildings are too risky. But then, people need jobs in order to earn something for their family. So no matter what job is it, risky or not , as long as they can have money for their living, they will surely take the risks.
