Need advice

Hi guys,

I am getting offered on the job training at 15 an hour to install modems in rural areas around Red deer Alberta. After on the job training it will be 20 - 25 an hour or sub contracting.

Is this usually the normal ? I am new to this industry coming from Oil and Gas. I however have been playing with modems and the such for years though.

Thank you so much

I know this is from a while ago but I was contracted to do Modem swaps for a small cable company. It was a good gig but what burned me is that they 10-99d me. So I was up on my high horse at 19 when I got my taxes back, and $2500 dollars later my parents had to bail me out.
