A computer technician can have jobs such as a repairman, helpdesk, pc rollout tech, and skills such as networking & network security are a plus in the field. Job descriptions can include all of these or just focus on one skill.  I'm a self employed tech and an independent contractor, if you want to find out more do a search on www.monster.com to see all of the possible jobs and how much they pay...they all pay pretty well just depends on what you want to focus on.

"Pal Talk" chat (yahoos competitors) have wonderful help rooms with many technicians on hand. most the technicians there specialise in specifics i.e. apple or ibm, windows 98 / 2000 / xp or OS, DOS...etc. given i know the answer but havent the patience for it anymore...go there and im sure they can help. (those guys at ISP help desk are not technicians...most read the instructions out of manuals but they can still provide good help for their systems)

Yea if you market yourself right there is always someone in the need for computer repair. Also consider building your own machines and selling them.

The first steps up in your position would be a "Train the Trainer" position.  That means, you show new entries how to do your current job, and do it well.  Next step would be managing a staff of Tech Support people, or creating new plans for Tech Support for new products.\n\nEach step should involve more responsibility and at least 15% more pay.  You might have to change companies to get a better deal, but work hard inside this place first if you like the company!\n\nGood Luck!\nOC

Technology includes the computer you're using, the vehicle you drive in, the oven you cook your food in, and so on.  How do these things help you?  Can you think of others?

I will try to keep this short.\nI had a computer store in Calif for a few years and did quite well. I found it to be the most cash intensive business if you do things right. \nLocation and hours are a key here. Because most people work during the week and have only weekends off to take care of thier computer problems being open on Sunday is essential. Also being open a little later than your competition helps. You must also be in a location that can be easily accessed and seen.\nDepending on where you are in the country, you might wish to seek out computer swapmeets. They provide many customers and contacts. In Calif there are many throughout the state and I did some of my best business there. Plus most of the buyers use cash.\nBe sure that you and the people you have working for you really know what they are doing. Keep up with the new technologies and very important, have fun.\nGood luck to you.

Patience is quite important, but sometimes you really have waited enough and it's time to call tech-support. Really, the more impatient you are, the more stressed you're going to get while you're on a computer. And as you become more stressed, you really can't work with a computer very well.

I agree with pea. cole. a "trade" will be the best thing to learn. like you said Computers are what everyone will be needing. You should look into studying nano technology that will get you some serious money or you could try cures for diseases.

One of the largest challenges is fixing something that average computer users who "know what they are doing" messes up. Another is when multiple computers are down at the same time and you need to get them all going quickly. But helping people and knowing you are doing a great job is rewarding. You can also go to most any company and become a valuable member of the staff.

I am a computer programmer and here are my opinions.\n\nNegative:\n1) Because you are staring at the computer everyday, your eyes will be affected because of the radiations.  99% of the computer programmers that I know have some kind of eye problems.  Some of them may start with 20/20 vision; eventually they will develop either short-seightedness or far-sieghtedness.  \n\n2) You deal with computers more often than you deal with human.  Sometimes you may even find that you are yelling/talking to your computer.\n\n3) Computer technologies change extremely rapidly.  For the rest of your professional life, you will need to read lots and lots of books to keep up with the technology.  One of my aunts is a senior VP of software development in IBM; when I went to university 13 years ago, this was the advice that she gave me.  Now, I know exactly what she is talking about.  If you love reading and learning new stuff, this could be a positive thing; if you don't or if you don't have the self-motivation to do so, it would be a chore.\n\nPositive:\n1) Generally, computer programmers receive quite high pay.\n2) There are new technologies coming out faster than you can keep up with.  If you love learning, this is a wonderful thing.\n3) You can create computer programs to many simple stuff on your own instead of buying programs/software.\n4) You can give advice to others who need help.\n5) You can answer questions under the Computer Program category on Yahoo Answers\n6) Nowadays, practically every field needs computers (especially web programming) whether the field itself is related to computers or not.  You don't need to worry about finding a job.
