Any thoughts on this ?
FWIW I don't believe much of this. Just curious if anyone here worked down there with him.
I have an odd combination of skills that I think should make me a strong candidate for an antarctic program, but I am not really sure where to start. I'm hoping that some of you might be able to give me advice, or just talk ideas with me.
I am a 42 year old american with an engineering degree who's spent the last 13 years working as a software developer for astronomy data reduction systems. I am also a mountaineer and SAR member/EMT with nearly a decade of experience on a very busy team. I'm comfortable camping on glaciers for long periods of time if there are jobs that involve field work, and frankly, that kind of work sounds very appealing to me...
I have heard through the SAR rumor mill that EMT or SAR are both very attractive things to have on an application for working in antarctica, but none of the people I have spoken to have done it...
I think next year (2021-2022 season) would be a good time for me career wise to try antarctica for a season to see if I like it.
Any thoughts on types of things I should be looking for? places to apply? etc?
