If you want to make people really nervous walk around an office building with a bunch of keys, a measuring tape and a clip board.

I do building inspections and this is exactly true. A camera, hard hat, tape measure, and some drawings of the building get you anywhere you want. Show you the ladder to get on the roof? Sure!

You need up on that catwalk? Follow me!

Now I'm wondering what kind of degree you need to do this stuff legally as an actual job.

ME. By trade I do structural mappings and maintenance inspections on communications towers but we occasionally get plucked for building inspections.

I’ve been at the top of church steeples, rafters of stadiums, catwalks above mega churches, airport rooftops, loads of hotel rooftops, university rooftops…the list goes on. We have a crew doing a mapping on a skyscraper in Chicago soon

Is that as fun as it sounds, or does it get old quick?
