My dad had his own little computer company when I was a kid.

And I don't think you need either degree or certificates unless you are working for bigger company.

just watch-and-learn, get books, mess with cheap and old stuff and be curious

For computer repair? That's the only part that ever comes naturally; there's no commands to learn, no syntax...

As you use a computer over time, problems arise. Be it a browser redirect virus, HDD failure, RAM failure... it's as easy as matching the red square with the red-square marked slot.

How do you get started? Start offering your services. 90% of the time I don't know how to fix something I accept until I've done it.

computer repair is really retail, all you have to do is be alive.

Anyone that tells you that you need certs or degrees for this is fucking retarded.
