Yet i cant find a job that will pay over $2.5k a month.
To me, thats really sad.
Now on the flipside, i am VERY good at fixing/assembling computers. I built my past 2 pcs myself and i built all my family's pc. I keep myself up to date on whats going on..
I live in Bergen County NJ and im thinking of starting a computer repair business over here. The problem i see with computer repair is you make money only when you fix/repair computers, so I'm thinking of trying to sell a service plan for say $29.99 a month, where people get 1hr of free pc fixing for that fee.
Basically, if i do it well, all i gotta do is make sure their computers are secure and they won't call me that often.. 1000 customers = Over $30k gross, and theres millions of people around here in this area.
What do you guys think?

Market your services to college students. Go a step higher and talk to the university... See if they'll incorporate some $X number in the tuition to keep the stress off of their IT people.
Better yet, go to the University that you are graduating from.
Scenario: 10,000 students at the school, manditory $30 added to tuition for PC services for a semester. Say this $30 includes some astronomical # like 5 hours of on-site service excluding any major parts/components/software. Thats $300,000 a semester... Its all a numbers game... If you get overwhelmed, pay some computer science majors to do the work for cheap...
I thought about doing this a few times.
