Good tips for young people looking for work: Become a broadband installer. Work outside doing meaningful, physical work.
There is a huge demand for workers in the U.S. to help deploy broadband to all the homes and businesses that don’t yet have a good broadband connection. Much of this demand is being driven by a government program called Broadband, Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD), which is providing more than $42 billion in government grants to the states. Lots of companies will be applying for these grants, and they’ll need plenty of workers to deploy the broadband infrastructure.”
Some tips: Highlight relevant construction experience. Veterans are highly sought for their toughness.
And if you love heights, many of these jobs are great for you. Not for me—I get nervous on the kiddie rollercoaster.
