I recently took and passed a test at Local @.// for a telecom apprenticeship. Does anyone know how the work is in telecom? I have heard that inside lineman has a long wait list but I don't know anyone doing telecom. Any info about how much work and what kind of work I could expect to do would be helpful. I assume it is mostly LAN cabling in new construction. Thanks!

Well congrats and I heard the same thing but I have 2 friends. one is and electrician apprentice and the other was with me in Verizon and jumped to 164. Both work steady and don't let the long list thing fool you. The un-indentured and apprentices always get work because they are cheaper. As far as work goes, pulling, placing, measuring, drilling to code. Fire panels, security panels, PBX's, VOIP, and networking. Not hard just study and pay attention. It's not like being a lineman but boy do the knots come in handy.

Thanks for the info!
