You can get some training in classrooms, esp. after you have some knowledge. Most of us spend a LOT of personal time reading. And not Playboy or Time, or Outdoor Life. When I was young, I was Liberal. As I aged and wised up, I became Conservative. Now that I'm old, I have settled on Curmudgeon.

You'd probably need to establish an account with one of them in order to take advantage of these, but it would be a good way for you to be introduced to the many products that are out there.

If so you will need to get a job with an interconnect and I would say with your background that shouldn't be too hard assuming you find one that is hiring. Then you want to get certified on whatever systems they handle. It's going to be a steep learning curve and the pay less than what you are making now. -Hal CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Some comments made by me are known to the State of California to cause irreversible brain damage and serious mental disorders leading to confinement.

Also, a LOT of product documention in regards to installation and repair can be found online...Google is your friend. Best bet, before you jump ship with ma bell, buddy up with a local mom and pop telecom outfit and try to do some part time work with them and learn alot. Also, I'm former ma bell'ish. You're probably covered by the union (CWA), big advice right here...utilize the Alliance program, utilize ALL training/certification help the union will give you BEFORE jumping ship. www.tm2solutions.com

NOBODY quits the phone company." I interviewed for a white-collar telecommunications job in New York City during the Big Strike of 1971. The man interviewing me said "You will never get a better job, than right where you are. Stick it out, is my advice. NOBODY quits the phone company." After 30 years, I can look back and say they were right. Arthur P. Bloom "30 years of faithful service...15 years on hold"

True, Arthur, but I did get laid off twice from the phone company. From the same company, even (GTE). Jim
