Yeah, IT companies don't like people that are too smart. I was interested in a company, then I told them to not use WEP encryption on their wireless networks because any decent hacker could crack it in 5 minutes, so they never called me back.
IT companies feel like it's a liability to hire someone who knows a little too much.

??? I'm not expert here but managed a repair shop, we fixed all electronics, laptops, desktops etc. We were decided to include computers we brought people in that were techs to help us. One guy was a teacher for A+.

no formal training? When you crack the motherboard from pressing the RAM too hard into the sockets, and get sued...you'll wish you had formal training lol.

seing how ur comment was 11 months old i guess your 15 now lol?
I think people spent too much time and money in the corporate computer education system. Thousands and thousands of dollars and time,... and the guy next door is making huge money working a small computer repair business from home with little training. The college grads/ time wasters can't stand that.
Yes, corporate IT is far removed from fixing PCs on the run. With a self generated confidence and a backwards learning ability you can successfully crack the small business and home PC repair market.
I have had a lot of training... and they make it sound SO easy. Yeah Right...
Hi, check out my answer to Jeff's comments. I had to shorten the reply as you only get 500 characters for replys.
To think that I wasted 15 years of my life working, over 500 hours of networking seminars, attending college, and getting Cert.'s to be told by you that "it's really not that hard." The home user is a moron. You will spend 75% of your time using OTC virus removal software and charge at most $30 an hour. When you encounter a REAL problem you'll be lost and ultimately loose a customer. When word gets out you'll be run out of business by Geek-Squad.

Hi Jeff, thanx 4 your comment. We are talking about fixing PCs in the small business and home market. The focus of providing a satisfactory solution to a faulty PC is a specialized business. There are people who with very little training can successfully operate in this environment and thrive. I am not suggesting for one moment these individually are set loose in a corporate environment The fact is, here are people with a backwards learning ability to come from nowhere and do very well in IT.
