First of all good luck and I wish you the best. I started in the CATV industry working as a tech for Cox. Moved on to another inhouse job in a different state and got bored. I got into contracting and loved it for a while. Being on the road all of the time took its toll so I went back to inhouse tech position. Also the feast or famine of contracting was not much fun. Im out of the cable business now but as you can see cant completely let it go. Have fun with the ladder boys!
