Job on the Vineyard

[Swimmer]

Comcast is not a bad company to work for. My buddies son just started with them. Sent him to school in the mid west part of Massachusetts for 6 or 7 weeks. Gave him his own truck. Main office is in the Taunton Industrial Park area. You can get a tremendous amount of OT at times. If your on the Vineyard you wouldn't even have a boss to watch over you. And maybe they would pay some towards housing?????????

I was over thee in Sept with a bunch of cable guys (some 25+ yrs of service) and we saw a cable guy fishing Philbin beach. We busted his ball$ for fishing while working but deep down inside we were very envious. We asked who he worked for and we all knew his manager. He was asking the guys I was with not to rat him out. The guys said that we would not rat him out if he gave us some locations to fish and as usual he said he did not know any good places to fish...LYING!

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.

70 to 80K /year........boy did I get into the wrong line of work

[lurch]

if a tech is making 25/hr with no OT that is 52K/year.

If my math is correct to get to 70K is only 9 hrs of OT /week and when I was working there 9hrs of OT was easy to do.

18000$ to get to 70K
divide by 37.50 OT rate
= 480 hours

480 hours /52 weeks = 9.2 hours of OT per week.

I didn't think cable guys got that kind of money.

I may have to look into a career change.

I was making 19$/hr in 99' and after I left they dramatically increased the pay scale....I believe the top pay is just below 60$/hour.
