real quick.... in my opinion, when it comes to computers, etc.
Experience trumps "book knowledge"---- maybe not in management or running a business or leading, BUT that was not my take on what you wanted to do.
if you go to a local computer shop, inquire if they need help or... better yet, say this, " Hi, if the perfect employee approached you, would you hire him?"
--- not in those exact words
anyway... my guess is EVERY business owner whats the perfect employee...
if you can fix/correct/solve PC problems faster or more efficently than their current staff.... you should be hired.
Now... I'm not giving a true life example, but you get my point.
