America’s Toughest Jobs: Recap
By CareerBuilder blogger on Oct 13, 2008 in Fun Jobs, Fun stuff
It’s been a few weeks since we’ve had a change to talk about ATJ here. Here’s a recap of what’s been going on with the ATJ crew….
Out of the original 13 contestants, six remain: Ben, Eric, Michaela, Rommel, Sandy and Steven.
These contestants – and the contestants that were eliminated – faced the following challenges:
- Panning for gold in Alaskan wilderness (Phil was eliminated)
- Working oil rigs in Texas (Eric was sent home)
- Performing bridge maintenance in Los Angeles (Chris quits in the final challenge)
- And last week’s challenge was toiling as lumberjacks in the Pacific Northwest. Bryce was eliminated.
The next challenge sounds incredibly dangerous – working as part of the rescue crew on Mount McKinley in Alaska.
