The bad thing is that folks who can afford to hire out are making a few bucks. many times that means they own a business. YOu will get to support that too. How can you only support their home systems and not their businesses? I almost can't just take care of their fancy homes, but not their cabin up in Big Bear. ONce they find out that you are good and responsible, they will beat down your doors. working on their businesses will come with a different set of stress, but you already knew that. Give it a go, who knows where it will go. It will take time away from you little boy that's for sure. It has in my case due to the running around. IN this town, it takes three times as long to get somewhere.

Yeah, I get what you're saying but I'm just no interested in going that far. It would have to be a hard 'no' for that sort of thing. It would be too much work to make this a real business and a full time job and I've known too many guys who have done that to want to dip into it myself. I'm not interested in it and in fact with my day job I consult for companies doing this all day long so it'd likely be viewed as competitive by the company I work for.
The other thing is - I don't really limit myself to just computers. I have repaired just about anything computer-like from toys, game consoles, TVs, Monitors, set-top boxes like Tivos AND computers. I however Hate every even revision of Windows (Vista, 8, etc).
