Re: New and need advice


My advice, go back SBC. Your skills and passion in this field will not be appreciated, they will be exploited. This field uses the word "potentially" alot. Every job you can "potentially" make 1200/week.

There are good companies and good oppurtunity in this field, but they are few. Chances are you will get burned. The only way you will make your current income is if you work 10-12 hours days 6-7 days a week. Although you will be working on the emerging and newest technolgies in the telecom business, you will receive the pay of a burger flipper. The trend in this industry is rates go down. You will work for less as time goes on, but will have the oppurtunity to work more hours to make up for the cut and pay. You will need to learn to take pride in being part of the worst paid group in the telecom field or you will not be accepted by your peers. People looking for wage increases, and not wage decreases along with an increase scope of work are considered lazy.

So be prepared for long hours, less pay, and not to mention the fact that getting your check is not guranteed. Some people will not pay you. So be careful and take others advice. Stay away.
