Looking into the future...job wise

[GinG]

At the moment i work in sales for a timber firm, i am 22 and still dont know what to do. I love my computers - taking them apart, sorting out faults etc. I help a lot of people out at work with problems with their personal pc's and they say i should go down that route.

Now i have no major experience apart from building my own pc's (3 up untill now) and no IT qualifications. I wouldnt mnd getting into IT, however i am interested in the Hardware / Repair side rather than software.

Anyway saw this course available:

http://www.dcalearn.co.uk/Courses_UK/PC_Repair_Upgrading/Course.htm

would this be a worth whilse corse so i can go into home pc repair / pc builds to sell and earn a living?

if i was to work for an IT firm, would this let me be the 'IT' guy??

really would appreciate some help.

Thanks

get yourself onto a helpdesk, many will take people without formal experience and b uild from there

yeah but i could possibly take a major paycut on that job, if i was to do this out of work time, then start doing a bit on the side.

would that course be worth while?

experience is really everything unfortunately

maybe see if you could volunteer somewhere? a charity or some such
