Wireless networking (career advice)
A brief overview of my history: I passed college half a year ago (IT major); then I landed my first IT job (bugfixing - stuck in an office all day long doing meaningless, unfulfilling job, and being compensated by a joke of a salary). It was as dull as in Office Space (the movie); thanks god the bugfixing contract just ended -- now I know I don't want another job like that, ever.
Since being strong on networking and technology, I've been considering taking this knowledge and passion further and steering my career path to another, more (subjectively) pleasant direction - which is wireless networking, of course.
What's next for me? I think I know that - CCENT, CCNA, CWNA, CWSP, CWDP ...
But what I don't know (what I'm about to ask you) is: are there any real non-office jobs in wireless networking?
My "dream job" (perceived from a naive standpoint, of course) may involve designing wireless networks and/or in-field signal measuring and/or installing wireless devices (climbing some radio towers in the wilderness and working in that environment, that would be especially very nice - in contrast to the dull office job).
Any professional out there with an advice for punk like me?
What would be the next step here, based on your invaluable experience?
