Not sure if you guys haven’t ever actually worked with fiberglass, or are trying to make it sound significantly worse than it is to prove a point…
No, you wash your hands after touching fiberglass, have a shower, and by the morning you won’t even realize your mistake. Itll be an itchy few hours, but its not gonna shred your hands, and it won’t cause permanent damage either.
Your lungs will be a bit worse for wear, and you should wear gloves/respirator, but for a couple minutes or photo op or even to move around your own attic you’ll be fine.
Most companies I’ve worked for, from union to mom and pop, pay for your drive time. Unless you’re in a very small company, in which case you record your mileage and are able to use it for taxes.
If you’re in a big city you’ll have plenty of work all within a solid 50mile radius. If you’re out in the sticks with towns spread out… Youll still have plenty of work but the majority of your day will be driving.
I personally love low voltage, specifically as a service technician. Spend 20 minutes diagnosing a problem, 20 minutes fixing it, and then 30 minutes driving to the next while getting paid the entire time. Take 4 to 7 calls a day and make bank.
I’ve been doing this for almost 10 years though, and most guys start out as an installer, learning the trade, working at big job sites, and gaining the skills to be able to be a service technician. If you have an aptitude for learning, and care, you’ll be better than 75% of your coworkers.
