At one point my dream was to have my own repair shop, I just love working with hardware and figuring things out. It’s always something new and I enjoy the hunt on finding the answer. But then I realized it would be a bad idea.Take for example, a car mechanic. You take your car into the shop, it doesn’t start. He fixes it, a week later you get ready for work, jump in your car and it doesn’t start. Whose fault is it? It’s the mechanics fault right?

I do my best to educate on why the problem happened; fact I pride myself on communicating and breaking it down with easy terms and examples for them to understand without all the technical terms. They loved it and always asked me. But despite all of that, they still did it. Least a lot of them were pretty cool about it "Yeah, guess I should of followed your advice on not downloading all those free screen savers" Then we'd have a good laugh about it, month later i'd be back, it;s not funny after the 5th time.
Smart move. I worked at Best Buy's computer tech department years ago when I was in college, and I can't believe how many stupid people there are in the world, or worse, the intelligent ones who intentionally try to rip companies off. I kicked around the idea of starting a custom-built computer company, similar to an Alienware, but dealing with support from absolute morons or people trying to rip you off pushed me away. Software engineering has been a much better career path.
