I'am a senior getting ready to graduate high school. I have an interest in celluar technology. I was wondering what kind of degree I would need to master in. I would like to be a person who goes out and works on the celluar sites. What is the name of that position. Thank you in advance for any help.

Cell Site Technician,

Get a degree in electrical engineering, that's what I'm doing.

If I were you and had the intreset in cellular why not set the marks a bit higher? You have all the options in the world. Go for an engineering degree that would put you designing the parts that make the cell towers work, not you working on them in the inclimate weather. You could sit in a nice clean lab, lots of neat tools to play with needless to say awesome co workers of the opposite sex(as in the office on the cell site would be a grizzly bear or something worse!). I just want to let ya know that I thought like you did at one time and I wished someone would have kicked me and said the same thing. This choice that you are making will be the diffrence of salary ranges from 25-40k a year to 75-100k a year. Then you could go on to design something that would make you millions. Good luck and congrats on graduation!!!!

I would def. set my sights higher as well, but I do have a friend who fixes and maintains cells sights & it's not a bad job at all. He's making decent money and his job is really easy. 3/4ths of the time he's either running personal errands or just driving around in his company truck.
