boy do I wish I was younger

My wife is a teacher so she might be able to find a job on the island...plus with all of the OT from cable you might be able to make 70-80K /year. if it was only so easy to pull the trigger...keep dreamin' I guess.

Lurch you will find very few of those guys making that kind of money. I worked for them from 89--95, and although they did give large increases after that most of the guys making 25$ started long before I worked there.

Verizon is hiring, if you want to make real money, excellent beni's it's the way to go..

You left too early! I was there until 99 and they did not drop the cash until after I left. If you have the experience they pay VERY well now.

Network engineering group for Verizon I can do but my days as a pole jockey are way behind me.

I actually worked for Adelphia, and now work for Comcast. My office is located in Bourne, but I did work quite a bit on Martha's Vineyard last summer and the summer before helping out. I actually managed to sneak in a little fishing on break, don't remember meeting anybody though, and didn't do so hot fishing. (few schoolies) As far as the pay, I am a Line Tech, and it would take quite a bit of overtime to get me to 70K. And to answer to the comment about the wires being shallow, it is like that in every town, that's what you get when you contract out the work.
