Are there any PC repair techs out there?
I was thinking of majoring in PC repair tech and would like to know more about it. How did you find jobs, how was your job, salary and wages, work environment, and anything else you think I should know. Also, are there any woman in this field?
I looked some of the info up online but would rather hear from someone with personal experience.
P.S. please, no ranting about how you hate your job.

Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
Where I live (UK) an awful lot of this work is on a self-employed basis. One begins by offering repair and perhaps modification/upgrade services, privately via small ads, business cards, flyers in any shops that will agree and so on. A 'no fix-no fee' policy is a good hook, and will quickly polish your skills and the speed you can diagnose and fix faults. There's the option (if all goes well) of moving onto bespoke systems where you take a customers brief/spec and build a system tailored to there needs. (an interent and coms pc, something fast and furious for hardcore gamers, a number of cost effective systems for a small business etc). Possibly then a lease on a small shop? Or set up as a consultant and aim for the business environment. Or perhaps do it for a while and get yourself a cv that speaks for itself and will impress the big established tech companies looking for proven experience? I don't honestly think many will care if their consultant/technician is male or female, only how good they are at what they do. Hope this is a help.
