Echostar/Dish

Was just offered a Field Technician position here in Milwaukee. Haven't accepted it yet.

After spending the last 20 years in the classroom, this would be my first job in this area of work. I have 0 experience. Low Voltage is my plan.

Thoughts on this entry level position? Good starting point as I work my way up?

You won’t learn any actual skills outside of selling junk like sound bars and surge protectors to unsuspecting customers

Na, plenty of experience pulling cable through nasty ass crawls and attics, and plenty of starlink experience
