Anyone ever done tech work for a cable/net provider?

I'm looking for a decent job that isn't food related and recently had a Comcast technician replace a bad splitter and some cables that we weren't aware were of (they really were old, beat-up, and nasty, the service is also free).
Would anyone happen to know what all qualifications are needed for such a job? Most of the techs that I've seen are young, probably in their early 20's, so I'm hoping that I could do something similar.
Of course this is temporary, but I need a job for now. I'll be moving to Boston within a year to start my college career in theater and film.
Any advice would be much appreciated!

Lol, no, not GET the job, just some advice from one that may have worked in the same field.
Maybe no one here has had a tech job, no biggie.
