How many Irishmen does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Five, one to screw in the light bulb, and four to remark on how grand the old one was.
But there's a job that pays quite a lot to change one lightbulb and people are taking to social media to show their surprise.
If you'd been thinking about quitting your job recently and fancied a change of career, why not take on the task of changing a lightbulb and get paid a large some of €120,000.
But of course there's a catch - it's not just your average lightbulb you have to change!
The TikTok video from Science8888 shows you can get $130,000 (approx. €120,000) for changing a lightbulb in the role of a Tower Lantern Changer.

But despite the hefty salary, Ladbible report, there is a constant 'shortage of people' who choose the career.
That's because it's to replace lightbulbs for signal towers over 600 metres high - not for those who are afraid of heights.
You also need to be physically fit because according to the TikTok video it takes around three hours to climb from the ground to the top of the 600m tower, a round-trip of six hours.
