Glory

Have you ever seen fireworks? If you've lived in the U.S. over the last 300 years or so, odds are pretty good you've seen them at least a few times. Americans use fireworks to celebrate everything, from independence to the New Year, to festivals, birthdays, and even just because it's Friday.

We love them. Like, really love them. Almost too much.

As a pyrotechnician, you're responsible for all that joy. Sure, spectators might not know you by name, but everyone for miles and miles gets to appreciate your work. What could be more glorious than that?
