can you dig it?

you'll be paid in children's happiness! but seriously, congrats on getting yourself out there, and best of luck with everything.

number 1 on amazon has got to count for something, right? by the way, thanks for being the first person doing an AMA to ever respond to me. you are infinitely awesome, and I hope reddit can put some cash in your pockets. merry christmas, brother.

Hey man, thanks for taking some time to answer questions. I usually enjoy the more obscure career related AMAs as opposed to the standard celeb ones. I have a few questions that just occurred to me:

What are the bare minimum prerequisite skills for even being considered for a rig position? Do you have to know cpr? Or have a basic understanding of electrical/mechanical in case there is an issue and they need as much help as there are knowledgeable people available?

What are the shifts like? Normal 8-12 hour days, same time everyday? Or more of a rotation, like a city firefighter (US) who normally get longer shifts and bigger gaps, like 24hrs on, 36 off?

What do most of you do with your downtime? Do people bring their hobbies? ie, computers, musical instruments, art supplies, books, or are there restrictions for these sort of things? I kind of romanticize career lifestyles like yours to be a "work all day, follow your passions at night" kind of situation.

Do you have any hobbies you enjoy more when you're a few miles out? As a digital artist, I would imagine the photo opportunities alone would be worth the isolation, much like a writer might quarantine themselves to write a major project.

Anyway, this got long quickly. Thanks for taking the time, mate. Cheers.

I never dug your music, I think it's pretty generic. wouldn't have commented at all, except I just saw a commercial for your album as I was passing by the link for this. Just to throw it out there, it's really hard to look badass as a "metal" (you guys get quotes) band when you have commercials advertising the sale of your album in target or whatever. bring on the downvotes, nu-metal fans.
