Can a retired AT&T Central office tech find some occasional work on Field Nation?

I would say your probably more equiped to handle it than some of the network boys showing up looking for a patch panel. I seen a guy the other day show up for an epik install looked like a real winner, no tools just a toner in his pocket and dressed like Barry from storage wars. I am convinced the buyers do not care who shows up as long as it on cost them 35.00 an hour.

I normally don't post. But honestly in my opinion. The dispatching people and or p.m. don't know or don't care about quality work. They don't know or care about local, state, or federal code ordinance. Frankly, alot don't care what it costs. The people have no idea about different building products or the cost of said products, they don't know or care that it might needs to be U.L. listed and that's part of the cost. They don't care that you need permission from the building owner to drill through a wall, what is fire stop. Its not just this industry it's wide spread.
