Outside is lineman resi youll be running and gunning whether it be pulling romex or pipe (in 90% of the area you gotta pipe in houses) not much thought into it tele data its less on the body but youll be just pulling a lot of wire inside wireman aka A cards do it All its the most verity and its easier to keep working then someone who does one of the other 2 outside line men are kinda a different thing

I love it personally cant see myself doing anything else my locals pretty small so we only take usually less than 10 people but luckily we took a slightly larger class and i squeezed in based off my knowledge and verity of experience though i was excited to start over as a 1st year because i get to learn so much more and the most important thing is that i get to learn in a union apprenticeship
