Anyone serious about becoming a satellite installer should visit......
www.dbsinstallsupport.com, free trial membership. As for working with Dish forget it, unless you want $10 an hour, work your way up to $12 an hour then they find a reason to sack you and get another "kid" in your place! For the record I have never worked for them I did go for an interveiw and was offered a job ( job offered to anyone that breaths) but I seen better of it! Plus I dont think Dishnotwork is going to be around much longer.
PSB, obviously you never worked for them, I can see. I know plenty who do work for them and started out at $10 an hour now make $14 an hour within a year and a half, add in stock options, 410k, training, uniforms, tools, 2 weeks paid vacation (3 weeks after your 2 yr mark), ADVANCEMENT opportunity, and 4 day weeks.
Sounds to me you're just bitter with all your experience that they only offered you $10 an hour. Maybe your problem is you don't look at the big picture or say 5 years ahead, probably if you did take the job, right now you'd of moved up and be making close to $15 an hour or in a suprevisiory position.
