my advise is to check with your local cable company and get in as a installer trainee and work your way up. Depending on how fast positions open up, you can move up the ladder pretty quickly. I got my lineman experience from working in a very small cable system. In it, everyone does pretty much everything. When its slow its easy to roll out with a lineman and be his grunt.
