residential telecom installers is an entry level job. He doesn’t need similar work, he just needs work.
Actually residential telecom installer for Cincy Bell is a union (CWA) position that comes with full benefits, training and a very good career path. Not your typical entry level job. I know guys who started out climbing poles in the desert and ended up with CCIEs, managing major corporate deployments. If I were just coming out of the military I wouldn’t throw an opportunity like that away.
