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

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?😵‍💫

This is the answer, if you're not in academia you likely need to be in logistics, maintenance, or be a doctor/nurse.
