Legit question, any way to get into the antarctic research statiom without having a PhD or being a grad student
Having so much money you can dictate terms to world governments is quite popular these days.
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
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?😵💫
This is the answer, if you’re not in academia you likely need to be in logistics, maintenance, or be a doctor/nurse.
Firefighter, cook, medic, manager, air traffic controller, pilot, driver, heavy equipment operator…
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??
Too bad we were ignorant enough not too have a Norwegian translator in our ranks, though the next civilised settlement is fully Norwegian. I don’t need to know Norwegian though to tell this guy is disrespecting us!
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
Me on my phone looking at antarctic sunrise
@kevzag@fediscience.org Defienetely not fighting a space horror monster on an antarctic station.
I would die to get on an Antarctic research station. Too bad they probably don’t need computer scientists.
I heard you get cancer easily there.
