new job oppurtunity- computer tech

[suicideneil]

Sounds like there is awesome potential there, but the only thing is.... Computer techs get paid massive $$ for a reason- they have trained for years and have degrees etc; its not something I imagine you could just 'pickup as you go along', if you get my drift (at least not very easily). And asking for help with minor things is one thing, but expecting people you dont really know on a forum to provide you with in-depth help and expertease for free would be alot to expect & ask for..... my 2c anyway.

yes i definetly know what you mean.

im sure with research and everything i could fix some problems.

other big problems i do not know... the way i see it is you have to start somewhere.

im going to talk more with my dad about it.

if you want to be a computer tech you will need schooling/training.....and if you are serious probubly quiting the OG gig would be needed, and probubly a step in the right direction...Look at the other side, if you stayed at OG, What would that get you?, would you be in line for management? Would you want that?

Well, you can always charge less per hour, and people are more forgiving when service is cheaper!

You could also try an online, or paper course on computer repair. I am sure if you dedicated a few weeks study you could learn the basics. If you are quick and resonably intelligent you could most likely figure most things out. Also find a local established computer repair place and offer then the more difficult jobs. Maybe they will give a bulk discount, and all you have to do is take care of the customer portion. That way will not be as profitable, but you can satisfy the customer. That way you can accept all of the repairs and learn as you go.

I have a few friends that have owner computer repair business, and an a few that worked at them too. Seems like with decent customer service you could easily develop a good customer base (the crappy service I always get is the worst part).
