高层玻璃清洁工

工资：28,770美元/年

Training: High-rise window washers usually need certification. For International Window Cleaning Association certification, the aspiring window washer must take four correspondence exams, specializing in commercial ground-based window cleaning, rope descent systems, and suspended scaffolds. American high-rise washers need specific training in regional standards.

Cleanliness is next to godliness, they say. But when cleaning the 102nd floor windows of the Empire State Building, you are actually next to God. Combining the detail-focus of a custodian with the fearlessness of a circus acrobat, high-rise window washers waltz daily with death to keep our skyscrapers agleam. Peering into all those offices might reveal some pretty scary stuff too.

培训要求：高层玻璃清洁工通常需要有资格证。如国际窗户清洁协会的资格证书，要想成为窗户清洁工必需参加4种函授考试，专门针对商业楼房的窗户清洁、安全绳索系统和悬浮脚手架方面的考试。美国高层建筑清洁工根据地方标准需要特殊的培训。

清洁紧挨着“圣洁”，他们说。当你清洁帝国大厦第102层的玻璃时，你真的就站在了上帝的身旁。清洁玻璃时，即要有马戏团杂技演员的勇敢精神，又要谨记管理员的“注重细节”。高层玻璃清洁工们为了让我们的摩天大楼整洁亮丽，每天都在与死神跳着华尔兹。窥视一下那些窗明几净的办公室，可能也泄露出一些相当让人可怕的事情。
