Anybody work doign computer repairs (COMPTai)

£100 an hour? lol!

Ah well nevermind was just an idea, back to the drawing board!

At least hopefully the COMPTIA book will come in handy for me if I get any future problems so not 25 quid wasted

If it's the CompTIA book I have then it's about a decade out of date.

Don't let the above posts squish your entrepeneur dreams. You could always be a rent boyo

That'll probably give you a return of 100quid per hour.

You think you're going to be ready after reading a book and taking an exam?

If you had to pay a guy 50 quid to fix a soundcard I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that you probably are not going to make much money trying to fix peoples computer.

£100/hour? I don't even think CCNP contractors get paid that much

You got ripped off bad, the guys probably at the pub tellin his mates about you.. I do this on the side now and then, usually make about 30/hr and they pay my rates for parts (10% markup). I avg. maybe 5000 a year on the side with that.

well every dude on yellow pages was quoting same rates...30-50 quid per 30mins unless my memory is haywire and it was per hour?

I fix loads of computer and most people expect me to do it for free

£100/hour... yeah right!

some of us try and hide any computer savvy we have....majority of people who approach you will be family/friends and their friends and you will end up with a pint or a free dinner after you have done the job.

It sounds too good to be true so it has to be a con.

I used to fix computers as an extra job and normally got something like £40 for a reload, and £30 for a fix would could take up to a few hours.

You'll never make mega money from doing this and most of the jobs will probably be from friends of friends or family who want to pay nothing or maybe a few pints down the pub.
