No idea if those skills would be transferable. I was on the small to mid sized biz side. Never worked for a provider or anything. Mainly managing, installing and configuring systems.

Once you understand the basics of telephony it’s pretty easy. It’s getting more complex now since it’s all ip/sip based but because that’s a skill that is lacking because everyone who does know that wants to be a network or security guy, not the phone guy/gal.

If you are working it now. Figure out who’s doing your phones and express interest in learning. It’s how everyone I know got into it.

You don’t need to work with the big guys.

Small businesses, managed service, utilities, hospitals all need telecom guys. Ive been out of telecom for years and I still have recruiters occasionally reaching out to me.

If you really want IT. Then telecom

Most people in telecom are old and are analog phone people, they don’t know ip/sip and don’t want to learn.

It’s basically a small networking job that you never get calls on nights and weekends about and if you do it’s a system you can reboot remotely. If it’s not the system it’s a switch and its someone else’s job.

Telecom isn’t sexy but it’s still needed, no one’s going into it as it’s not ‘sexy’ and to be honest it’s easy AF.

They should really explain what it is for those of us that don’t know

Yeah housing gains do nothing for you if you want to stay in the same area.

Theoretically you’ll have more equity so you can take out loans, but with high interest rates you’ll likely avoid that… and your property taxes will eventually go up since your home value has gone up.

Hate the fact that my house has gained so much.

Keep milking that cow.

This book gets a lot of shit, probably deservedly so, but I enjoyed the story, but skip over the monologue.

it’s the second story in about 19~ ish minutes in if you don’t want to listen to the whole thing.

I listened to an episode of hardfork and the interviewee was trying to figure more about a ai company that had a db of faces, and Everytime she had her face run, the company apparently was notified and pulled access of the end user almost immediately

Shits fucking scary

How does that work when using sync and it opens the webpages for you?

Every place I’ve ever worked has had a bobafet.

I worry about what defines a traffic light? Is it just the light or does the pole it’s on count?

My parents forced me to learn in case I ever needed it.

I’d buy one again in a heartbeat if I could. Love the fact that it was easy AF to rock myself out of snow banks
