Career Prospects
Telecommunications is an exciting and dynamic field with a wide variety of job opportunities. Education requirements are usually a certification, degree or combination. And telecom employees can work outdoors and indoors, for private businesses and global technology companies, on everything from mobile devices to virtual reality.
The variety of jobs people do in telecommunications is almost as broad as the definition itself. Because the industry includes everything from traditional analog telephones and radio to satellite TV and augmented reality, job seekers have plenty of options.
Telecommunications employees work in a variety of environments. Installers and maintenance workers work both indoors and outdoors, in all weather, and the job involves heavy manual labor. Managers and administrative personnel work indoors in offices, while customer service reps typically work in call centers and may have shifts on nights and weekends.
