Former Contracted Telecommunications Field Technician, Supervisor, and Infrastructure Auditor across multiple ISPs and 6 States. Now Iā€™m a Field engineer and designer. All without college. AMA about it.
Post Body

I worked alongside with, for, in service of, and on the rare unfortunate occasion, against Various ISPs for 5 Years across 6 states as a contractor and have loved it. I found my passion career and industry.

Every single project, experience, interaction and install gave me the knowledge I needed to now get a Field Engineering position elsewhere without any college or additional schooling that I couldnā€™t afford.

No more Aerial pulls by myself in the dark or Repairing Damages done by the, less skilled, techs Iā€™ve been behind. No more ā€œSorry I broke the fiber, can you bring me another 1000ā€™ rollā€. And never again the classic, ā€œI know itā€™s Thanksgiving but all the techs called out so you have to cover the routes and get installs scheduled today doneā€

Anyways, AMA about telecommunications you wonder about or donā€™t understand. Iā€™d prefer if this didnā€™t devolve to ā€œMy internet sucks how fixā€ but if you narrow it down enough I can offer some insight.

Every ISP Iā€™ve worked with is different in process, exact same in goals and expectations for their Installs and Infrastructure.
