Darrell, yes-excellent income can be derived from splicing. In house is the best way to learn IF you can find the right company that will invest in YOU. However, traveling is neccessary and is very hard on the family. So, whomever told you that is absolutly right. After 18 yrs in CATV Ive seen many marriages fall apart. 2 of my own! This certainly is not the rule, so make sure your family is FOR you and understands this to be your desire for everyone to profit. When you do advance(and you will if you set your mind on it)get home often, and try to arrange your family to be with you on the weekends as much as possible.
Before you start your quest though, look into NCTI and study the basics (if you havn't already)electronic theory and an understanding of is essential. Anyone with half a brain can splice Darrell, but to be the BEST, pay attention to detail, there are many little things that make a HUGE difference in QUALITY WORKMANSHIP. Learn to troubleshhoot is also required. I think I'm rambling!!! There is alot to know. Get out with a splicer whenever you can on your own time-be his/her helper, watch and comprehend, ask questions-hmmmm........if you never try......you'll never know?

w\ three daughters.I currently make $1000 to $1500 a week and I'm usually home by 3:00.I've heard that I could double my income once I learn the routine and become profficient at it. I would appreciate any insight about pursuing splicing.Please don't
