My name is frank.... i am currently a Signal Helper at 167 in the Bronx. Been on the job 2 yrs. I was just made permenant seeing as they fired all the provisional helpers i started with. Times are tuff but I like my job. im 26 so i have a long ways to go with Transit if they dont fire me down the line some where.. I hope to become a Signal Maintainer once the next avaible test comes out.

Is an EE degree required for helpers?

[NYCTSignals 9]

no i dont think so, i do not have a degree. You just need some type of electrical or electronic background experience

Ah, that's what I thought. I assume they expect you to be able to read the signal drawing typicals? I find that NYCT drawings are much easier to read than the standard AAR way of drawing signal diagrams.
