I am disabled and need help with collage cost in the computer repair field

I have been an industrial PC repair tech… (I don’t know anything about AACC, but any accredited school should solve your funding problems for you via loans and grants.)

PC repair is a tremendously crowded field… everyday hundreds of schools crank out thousands of graduates…

It is a personally rewarding feeling of a sense of accomplishment that goes with fixing them… (until the come back again sometimes, lol)

Everyday I was faced with several different PC’s used for everything from stoplights to satellites… rarely the same in appearence, integration, configuration, or complaint.

You will need to be good at multi-tasking, have plenty of replacement parts and testing diagnostics, and somewhat of a gift for troubleshooting…

reasons why:
1. they never did anything to it, "it just stopped working"… yeah, ok…
2. there are a million things that could happened (with or without operator error) but very often there is only 1 solution.
3. It should be fixed way UNDER the cost of replacing it… you will have no time to be chasing down parts, but have to swap out a part to see if the original has failed.
4. Diagnostics programs take time… lots and lots of time… (not to mention burn-ins)… set one up and move onto the next… I’ve often had several systems running at the same time, like a chef during dinner rush.

Lots of people go into self employment trying to stay in the field… check to see if there is room in your community for another competitor… don’t rely sololy upon the school to paint you a rosey picture about what it will be like after you graduate… they need students and grant money, and a percentage of the interest from the loans. "Placement assistance" is not a placement guarentee. Most schools make money… from you or off of you.

Choose your career path wisely and follow your heart… if you are already doing this, very skilled, and want to continue… you may not need a degree (as I have hired techs that were self-taught after hands-on testing phases of interviewing).

Best wishes in all you do !

I need to have all the Documents and settings for all users deleted before it goes to a repair shop. Then when it gets back i need to put them all back….confidentiality stuff and whatnot.

I’m running xp pro btw

That sounds like a good plan to prevent casual snooping, unless they’re planning to run some forensics software on your computer.

Hi,

Can you help me name my PC repair business that specializes in virus removal. Thank you.

how about the "Computer Doc" with the slogan of "We make house calls."

The Virunator?

Do you have to have a liscence to work with computers? If so, what is it called?
is it hard to get a job with computers?
Like, I want to be able to work behind a desk in a company, and work with computers, computer repair. . etc. .

If you are really interested in working with computers you should go out and get a 4 year degree. No legit company will hire a computer person without one. It is hard to get a job with computers if you have no personal skills.

I am tired of the computer getting the best of me, I want to be computer literate and be able to program my computer and repair it when it goes down. A future business opportunity wouldn’t bother me either! Any help as to where to start?

If you would like to program you might want to purchase a book about it. It can come in very handy. Most book stores carry them. One of the most useful things you can do to learn about the computer is to start using it more and taking risk. Experience is the best way to learn. Try listening to Tech podcast too. You can learn a lot of whats happening.

Cnets Buzz Out Loud Podcast is one of my favorites.

I want to be a computer technician, mainly repairs and troubleshooting ect, where do i start, what i need to do?

Graduate from high school, and then you can either enroll in a community college in your local area where you live, or you can use an online college to do it from home and graduate via internet within 2 years with an Associates Degree.

Good Luck!

Much Love
Peace & Happiness

He’s senseless man, never followed the principle of ‘honesty always pay’ & did all which was wrongly advised by his consultants whom he was paying in millions. To be a successful businessman or professional one has to follow the path of honesty, specially when you have foreign clients who only respect honest person or organization. Although the common believe amongst the western world that India & Indians are dishonest is further proved by the acts of people like Raju who have been profiled as the country’s representatives even before V.V.I.P dignitaries such as US president. When such person is found to be indulging in all sort of fraud & dishonest acts then the general opinion of a common Indian is further diminished on the scale of honesty before the rest of the world. I may on highest pitch keep on saying I’m an honest man but when I tell every one I’m an Indian my first statement itself is presumed as wrong & full of lies. He has been disgrace to all the Indians. What else I will say about this man holding foreign MBA degrees after all I hold only Indian law degrees.

COMPUTA REPAIR YOO (FOSHO)!!!

yeuh :]

It really depends on who your target market is and what types of services you are planning to offer

If you are trying to reach small businesses or home businesses (including the one person self employed), it may be best to check out direct mail companies such as Valpak. Or you can send postcards or brochures to these companies

You can also target retired baby boomers and seniors — and then determine where they typically congregate. Recreation centers for example have classes for seniors (swimming, etc) so check if recreation centers in your area have bulletin boards for local businesses. Or if they have a publication, consider advertising your services

Determine first your target market, and then think of ways how to reach them
