just spent about 30 mins reading this link so gotta have my 2 penneth.
left school got a job as telephone engineer with GPO, they became Telecom, they became British Telecom, they became BT and now we have been carved of (worrying) to become Openreach (part of the BT group) just right for sell of whilst I am just hanging in there for the "gold watch ... 35 years service in so far.
Done most of it but for last 15 years becoming a rare commodity in the broadband era as a Transmission eng Narrowband and wideband provision and maintainence of systems and bearers, (Still lots of old analogue stuff to keep running until the new generation is fully up and functioning) 2Mb an upwards... sky is the limit,
You'll all be useing my stuff somewhere I guarantee that.
Mustn't grumble really, a good job that has taken me inside some interesting customers premises.
Still go in holes climb poles/ masts..... when the weather is right and if I really want to!!!
cheers, Mike
