Yeah, the only repair that I can think of now is in factories (i.e. if you rma something that is possibly fixable.) Nowadays its more diagnose + give me your money so I can buy a new part to replace the old part.

With globalization and cheap labor being used at places kids your age would normally work at, there's not much I can tell you other than try a fast food joint.

No one is going to hire a 16 yo with no experience for computer repair when there are thousands of older more experienced people looking for such positions. You need to look at the bottom of the barrel, Fast Food, Gas Jockey.

When you’re 16 you take what you can get. Apply EVERYWHERE! Sometimes employers hire a young person because of the obvious initiative taken by the applicant.

BTW, whats wrong with grocery stores? There are tons of jobs like he said probably that you can apply for, some jobs you might want to avoid thta involve lifting and stuff, but I am sure there are a lot you can apply to. And Yikes is right when you think about it. No matter how much you think about computers, it's impossible for you to have had the experience working with hardware and troubleshooting as somebody who has worked in that area before and has diagnosed hundreds of computers.

What is wrong with Mrs. Robinson? She was my favorite customer... (j/k).

Hey, if I was landscaping for Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria) on Desperate Housewives, and I was 16...nuff said. (Did you know that she is only 30 years old in real life?)

*What in the world does "Amicalement" mean? I Googled it and came up with weird links.

I hate people who use big words.


Haha, did you seriously landscape for her?

Agreed. Suck it up and get a job, believe me, computer repair bench jobs are not easy to find.

thanks guys for the reply's

Im doing what I can, applying with my friend.


I talked to my mom about her 6am leave, she is a sheriff and said her time changes so I cant rely on her.And I agree, it is easyer to replace then fix. but most people bring in computers for 1.An upgrade, 2. software problems(virus)

Alot of people dont understand that even when you buy virus protection, it does run outofdays of updates, so you gotta renew your it. Unless you got avg like I do...but I know most Head-fier's know this. I guess I can mow grass if all else fail's
