Confessions of a Computer Technician

I have a confession to make... When fixing computers, sometimes I cheat and call upon the supernatural. But I don't think it's that big of a deal. Little miracles happen all the time. We just don't notice them. Like today, for example, a lady called me on the phone and told me how she was trying to fix her computer all day and it would not start. Then, while she was talking to me, her computer started working all by itself! Of course I didn't charge her. That's just one example. Another time, a laptop screen wouldn't light up and I waved my hands over it and it started to flicker but it had lines through it, so I kept at it until the picture looked perfect. Then I took it apart, cleaned it, re-did the connections, applied some blessings and it's still working today! I don't charge for these kind of repairs but even more amazingly, customers insist on paying anyway! Have you ever had a miracle happen for you? Please share your experiences!

"IT" IS A BLOATED FIELD. TOO MANY "IT" PEOPLE AND WAGES SUCK.

JUST LOOK AT HOW MANY" IT" PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LAYED OFF IN THE PAST 10 YEARS.

@digitalfuk Bloated is right. People's idea of an IT today is anybody with a YouTube channel or FB account. This video is embarrassing now that I received my degree and started working on some real programming.

Yes, the field is saturated but remember- IT is a vast industry. People with general skills will be disappointed to see the wages and find it difficult to find jobs. However, if you don't settle for sitting at a general level and work to specialize yourself in specific fields you will find that wages are better, job security is better and doesn't feel quite so saturated. IT techs are a dime a dozen, but good IT techs are rare. Fixing workstations + basic server rollouts are basic these days

@themanyone You Heading In The Right Direction, This is Probably The Only Areas of IT Left, With Lots Of Innovative Potential. Nobody Creates Anything Anymore. It's Sad.

@urdynamix1 totally agree.

This field is soooo saturated. Not to mention everyone you meet thinks they know computers, it's ridiculous.
