Would you take this job?

These Turkish men are risking their lives to keep their country wired. They are known to work hundreds of feet above ground on deadly high voltage lines.

Employees say they inherited their jobs from their fathers and grandfathers. Despite some improvements, the job is still risky: some say they have seen colleagues fall to their deaths.

They will continue the legacy despite the high risk because they feel the job has one major perk: the views.

$Mona Lisa Selfie: World Attractions Pop Off On Instagram Ever taken a selfie with Mona? Youre not alone. This short film shows just a fraction of the photos taken with the Mona Lisa each year. It took three months for the filmmaker to compile peoples Instagram posts into a cohesive short film. Mona Lisa sees 6 million visitors each year. But Mona isnt the only attraction tourists are gramming. The Eiffel Tower is the worlds most Instagrammed attraction, showing up in over 4 million posts. Others include Big Ben at 2.4 million, the Empire State Building at 1.5 million, and the Notre Dame Cathedral at 1.3 million.
