Re: The contractor life


Well said.

On and off on my own since 2001. I can walk away from a toxic client. That's freedom! And you are right about the myths about us.

I see techs who are ashamed to tell people what they do because society paints us as all a bunch of dawgs. They think we do what we do because we are poorly educated, have no incentive or ambition, and are sloppy in our work. 

I say, "Change the channel!" it's time we took back the brand and when people find out we're the essential people that keep their TVs, phones, and Internet up and running, maybe they will have more respect for us.

But, it's not the customers I worry about, its the MSOs and Primes who feel the same way. Without a national association of cable contractors, we don't stand a chance of "changing the channel."
