I'm a glorified PC Janitor at a local tech shop. I do sales, repairs, installs, whatever else the boss doesn't want to do.
Most of my time is spent building and reformatting windows based PCs.
Needless to say, I aspire for something greater. I'd like to do more business with gaming machines, but all we ever sell is entry-level pentium/i3 builds and 600 dollar laptops.
I've got no formal training or degrees outside of my G12 High School Diploma, but I've been working on PCs formally for about 7 years now. Grew up with them.
I'd love to find a way to work from home (Even supplimentary) with my skillset, but I haven't found anything as far as home businesses over the internet that isn't done a million times and better or cheaper by somebody else. I wouldn't mind doing transcription work but the pay is **** for what I've found, and you need, at least, some basic training for it. I'm support a family of 4 at the moment so I can't just quit my job and go back to school. If I could get work writing articles for a tech blog, my old supervisor did that and made several hundred dollars a month (I make about 1700-1900 dollars a month as is, depending on hours. nothing incredible.)
So we soldier on, slapping keys and fielding phone calls of "where's the any key" day in and out, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, we soldier on.
