Good starting salary and prospects: how to properly start a career in the USA

Thanks to the abundance of information on the Internet, immigrants no longer travel to the United States with the confidence that they will be offered a six-figure salary on their first day, simply admiring their cute accent and honest eyes. Everyone understands that at first you will have to work hard, and not in a leadership position. Most are ready for this kind of work. At the same time, I want the first career steps in the United States to be at least on the right ladder, that is, in the area where there are prospects and with which you want to connect your future.

And here there are not many options for immigrants, because the lack of experience in the American labor market and mediocre English greatly reduce the list of promising career areas with a starting salary on which you can survive in the country. However, several professions can still be distinguished. One of them is a cable technician.

Cable installers install and repair data and telecommunication cables in offices, private houses or buildings under construction.

Why this job is a great option for immigrants

There are several reasons why immigrants should pay attention to this specialty:

1. Competitive wages at the initial stage. According to the site for hiring Glassdoor, cable operators in the early stages earn at least $ 33 thousand dollars a year, then the payment only grows, reaching an average of $ 43 thousand per year and a maximum of $ 74 thousand.

2. Requires a minimum level of education and proficiency in English. A school education is enough to start a cable operator career, you will be taught the rest on the spot or in short courses from your employer.

3. Prospects and career growth for those who are ready to learn. Due to the proliferation of technologies requiring the installation of cables, the demand for cable operators will remain high, which makes it possible to feel confident and develop further along this career line.

4. The job of a cable technician is the start of a career in IT. Installing cables is a great way to start a career in IT. The acquired skills will help you understand the field of information and technology, which can be the first step towards development in the information technology industry. In addition, you can further develop in a slightly different direction by becoming an electrician. These specialists are highly valued in the United States, and their work is well paid.
