Graduating college next week, visiting a few friends in San Francisco and i want to start a career there?

AT&T-Pacific Bell is a good company to work for. I believe they're currently hiring fiber-optic installers. I visited SF last year and I was talking to a Pacific Bell guy at a bar (Al's Elbow Room, Mission St near the southern end of SF, very friendly place) and I recently looked at their employment website (at att.com) and they're still hiring.
